[Teachldsseminary] Help finding SM balloon game

[Linda Harper]

For the who answers first I have two ideas:  Have one from each team up and
the first to grab a teddy bear or something is it.  Otherwise, have the
first one to answer stand up.  Also, I used cheap bells that they have to
ring first.  That helps.  Otherwise, I'm the judge and "fair comes in
October".  You could also have an advantage arrow like they do with jump
balls in basketball.

If they don't like balloons, I wouldn't use this idea.  Some things work in
one class won't work in another and it can vary from year to year.  I used
my hubbies air compressor to blow them up and it worked great so they were
already blown up and tied with the clue inside.  I put them all over the
floor and they could either grab one and sit on it or stomp on one so it was
fun.

Has anyone played this and had their kids whine about how they "hate tying 
balloons," "can't pop the balloons," are "afraid of the popping sound" yet 
they insist that hey love the game? What do you do about whiners?

This is one thing I really struggle with.  Like today, we played the 
Ezra-Isaiah Jeopardy game and I really struggle with knowing who has the 
answer first.  I got so many complaints of "that's not fair" and other such 
fusses.

Any ideas?  I'm not always the most assertive person.
