Bubble Games Refill Station
Fill a plastic container with a spout at the bottom (like the ones used
for sun tea) with bubble solution and label it "Bubble Refill Station". The kids can easily fill up their bottles with the spout.
Or place paper cups next to the Bubble refill station and use
the cup instead of bottles.
Also have several different styles of bubble wands for the kids to choose from and try out.
Bubble Sword Battle
Give each child a foam sword and let them pop the bubbles with it.
Pretend the bubbles are a bubble dragon or a thick forest that the kids must
conquer.
Blowing Bubble Art
Place bubble mixture in a large bowl. Add a few drops of
food coloring. Give kids a straw and have them place the
straw in the bowl and blow making the bubbles rise above the lip
of the bowl. Then have them take a piece of paper and lay
it on top of the bowl. Take the paper off and they will
have a fun bubble picture.
No Hands Allowed
Have the kids try and pop bubbles without using their hands.
They can use their heads, elbows, legs, feet, knees, etc.
Catch a Bubble
Blow bubbles and then try and catch them on the bubble wand. See
if multiple bubbles can be caught on the wand.
Hula Hoop Drift
Divide children and let half blow bubbles and the other half hold the
hula hoops. Have the kids hold the hula hoops out and the others
try and blow bubbles through them. Then switch so everyone has a
turn.
Biggest Bubble
Have a contest to see who can blow the biggest bubble. Make sure
all the wands used are the same size.
Most Bubbles
Have a contest to see who can blow the most bubbles with one breathe.
Line the kids up and one at a time have them blow as many bubbles as
they can with just one blow.
Bubble Lift
See how long the kids can keep their bubbles in the air by having them
blow underneath them to keep them from popping.

second wand.

line and blow a bubble. They then have to blow that bubble across
the field and over the finish line.
Bubble Relay
Divide kids into two teams and have them stand in line one behind the
other. Set up a turn around point at least 30 yards from the
starting line. One at a time the children will blow a bubble and
catch it on their wand.
They must then run to the turn around point and back to their team with out losing or popping their bubble. When they return to the start then the next person in line goes. If a bubble pops or they lose their bubble from their wand they must run back to the start and begin again. The team with all their players to finish first wins.
Bubble Tag

and to tag someone they must blow bubbles on the other player.
When a player gets tagged they take the bubbles and try and tag someone
else.

This is a fun game where kids try and dodge the bubbles that are being
blown at them . Have the players line up about 10 feet from other
players who are blowing bubbles. If a bubble pops on them they
them switch places with the person who blew the bubbles.
