Begin by setting up the balloons and the pathway on which they will travel. The string should go around the entire gymnasium and have as many destinations as possible. The more places to go to, the harder classes will need to work to get there. Each destination should be marked with a picture of the place or a symbol. You may want to work with the homeroom teacher to see what the students are learning in social studies. For example, if they are learning about Europe your destinations could be the Eiffel Tower or Buckingham Palace. Each class will be represented by a specific colored/themed balloon. As each class demonstrates enthusiasm, safe practices, good listening, and 100% effort along with following classroom rules they will be awarded points. It takes 5 points to move from one place to the next, points may also be deducted for poor behavior (this number may vary based on needs). Classes will compete against other classes to get to the final destination. This program can run either half a year and start over again or last the entire year. Each time a class reaches the final destination they can earn a prize.
