Game Preparation 1.

Stick a straight pin carefully through the rubber tip so that the arrow or dart is “loaded.”

Create a corny love poem such as: “Roses are red, violets are blue; if you kiss me, you’ll come down with the flu.”

5. Mark a tape line on the floor at least 10 feet from the targets and line up each team single file behind the tape.

6. Have a responsible assistant handle the “ammo.� To avoid dangerous crossfire, ammo should only be collected once all teams have shot all their arrows.

2. When a balloon pops and after all shooting ceases, retrieve the word-clue from any balloon that popped and give it to the team of that color (It is possible that another team may pop the balloon for you if their aim is off) 3. The first team to figure out the poem wins!
