Games and activities to do with bubbles

Fun ideas, games and activities to play with bubbles.  Bubbles are a great way to entertain kids and with these great ideas you'll never run out different ways to play with bubbles. 

Bubble 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.  See our homemade bubble recipes for great ways to make your own bubbles.

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 them must conquer.

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.

Bubble Stack
Give each child 2 bubble wands and bubble solution.  Have a contest to see who can blow bubbles and then stack them the highest on the second wand.

Bubble Pop
Blow lots of bubbles and let the kids enjoy popping them.

Bubble Flow
Set up a start and finish line.  Have kids line up at the start 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
Played like the regular game of tag except "it" has a bottle of bubbles 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.

Bubble Dodge
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. 

Bubble Art
Have an adult mix a small amount of food coloring or water based paint in bubble mixture.  Give children a piece of canvas or thick paper.  Have the kids try and catch the colorful bubbles on the paper for a unique piece of art.  Makes a great party favor!

Bubble Wands
Experiment making different sizes and shapes of bubbles using different types of bubble wands.  Pipe cleaners bent into fun shapes, slotted spoons, tubes, and hangers are some great ideas.
