Pop A Balloon Raffle
Supplies: Raffle Tickets, Pearlized, Pastel, Printed, or New Year latex balloons, Confetti, Prizes, and Fun party guests.
Preparation: Split the raffle tickets so each guest gets one. The other half of the ticket will be put in a latex balloon along with some confetti. The confetti will disguise the 
location of the balloons that contain tickets. The best way to insert confetti in the balloon is to slowly pour a little bit of confetti at a time, and then slowly blow up the balloon with air or helium. If you use helium, remember to buy balloon ribbon so the balloons do not float away. One or more (or no tickets) can be put in each balloon. All of the balloons are put in a big area, or they are put somewhere they can be handed out to guests.
Goal: Participants will either need to sit on the balloons or use their hands to pop the balloons (of course other things can be done to pop the balloons, but these ways are the most fun). The game can either be played as…
- A General Lottery: (everyone is given a balloon,
whoever gets the balloon with the winning ticket, wins). - Search and Pop: (everyone goes amongst the balloons and tries to pop as many as possible to get as many tickets so their chances of winning will increase).
- Choose and Pop: (like Search and Pop, participants go amongst the balloons and grab a balloon, only in this version participants can only choose one balloon. They can play with the balloons to try to find one that may have more tickets than another, but in the end they can only have one balloon.
There are many more games that you can play at your New Year Party; this is just one idea that can be adapted to your own party. Keep your eyes open for party idea additions that are coming soon.
