How to Play With Bubble Wrap

You don't have to let the kids annoy you with the left over Bubble Wrap from your last purchase. Instead of letting them pop the bubbles in your face, create a few games with them. There are any possible number of games you can play, so challenge yourself to think beyond the next "pop."

Instructions

- 1
  Turn on your favorite music. Make sure it has a steady beat. Pop the Bubble Wrap in time to the music. You can follow along with the percussion part or create a part of your own.
- 2
  Cut the Bubble Wrap into a 10 bubble by 10 bubble square. Set a timer for 60 seconds and try to pop all the bubbles within that time frame. You can modify this game and play it against a friend. See who can pop all the bubbles first.
- 3
  Paint a face or object on the Bubble Wrap. Only paint one bubble at a time. After the paint dries, pop some of the bubbles and see how it changes the picture.
- 4
  Lay the Bubble Wrap out in a path on the floor. Try to get from one end of the path to the other without popping any of the bubbles. Experiment to see if it`s easier to get from one end to the other without popping bubbles if you lay the Bubble Wrap on a hard surface versus a soft surface?
- 5
  Drop eggs on the Bubble Wrap from various heights and with different layers of Bubble Wrap. You can also place the Bubble Wrap on different surfaces, such as a hard wood floor or grass, to see how this changes the outcome of the egg.
