Are you stuck inside? Too rainy, too hot, too snowy? Kids still need to get the wiggles out and a stuck indoors day can mean a ton of unused energy. If your kids seem like they are climbing the walls, then try this easy and cheap balloon tennis game. I always make sure I have balloons on hand for indoor gross motor play.

EASY INDOOR BALLOON TENNIS GAME!

Set up balloon tennis for an easy, indoor, gross motor sensory play game any day! Perfect rainy day activity or energy buster idea to try with kids of all ages including adults! Use balloons and fly swatters to make your own indoor tennis game or party activity.

This balloon tennis game couldn’t be any simpler, but it is loads of fun. Just take a look at my son in the photos below. Make sure to pick a up a few extra fly swatters. Everyone, adults included, will want to get in on the fun.

Our tennis balloon game is an awesome energy buster on an indoor day. We have more simple indoor gross motor games too plus a DIY air hockey indoor game.

Find your supplies at the dollar store or grocery store. Pick up a few fly swatters and a bag of balloons for your next balloon game. That’s all you need to keep everyone busy on a rainy or cold day.

If you are stuck inside, balloon play is the way to go. This game will get everyone moving and chasing balloons around the house. It’s super important for kids to get energy out. If you have a roll of painters tape, try this fun line jumping game too.

This balloon tennis game is a keeper for us. My son has high energy and being stuck inside all day is no fun unless he can get some energy out. I love simple, inexpensive games that are easy to set up.

  1. My son got given a tennis racquet for his 3rd birthday but was finding it difficult to hit the ball more than once with it (he loves any ball sports!) but I saw this and we tried using balloons and he can repeatedly hit them – such a confidence booster and soo much fun – a new dimension to ‘keepy uppy balloons’! Thanks for the idea.
