Bubble Games and Activities

Getting Ready

Before you start playing the bubble games and exploring the bubble activities, you will need to download a copy of the cards set. The Bubble Games and Activities Exploration Cards for Kids have a blue border. They could be printed in black and white, but look nice in color.

Supplies

Variety of Types of Straws

Dish Soap

Water

Plastic Container (We used one that looks like a cauldron.)

Bubble Games and Activities

Each of your children will need to have their own container filled half up with water and a few drops of dish soap. You can give them just one straw or several straws.

Each child will take an exploration card of the stack. Then they will need to do what it asks them too. If they playing the games with other people, they can challenge someone else to do the exploration with them. You will notice that some of the cards have explorations designed for two people. Feel free to join your child in those activities if another child isn’t available.

Before moving onto the next card, they will need to let the bubbles settle back into their containers.

If you like this sensory activity, here are several more your children will enjoy:

Bubble Games and Activities with Exploration Cards- The cards invite your students at school and children at home to work on prepositions, teamwork and breathe control.

“What do you want for Easter?” JDaniel’s Nana asked him when we were visiting her right before Easter

“I want a bubble machine!” JDaniel replied.

“I am going to give your mom the money for it and you can shop for one when you get home,” Nana answered. My mother-in-law doesn’t drive anymore so, she tends to get her grandchildren’s moms to shop for her.

A few days later we went to the bubble maker section at Target. Yes, they have a bubble maker section. It is filled with bubble guns, wands, along with machines.

I placed all of the options out on a low shelf for JDaniel to look over. There were eight different options. That was probably too many to look through. The decision took a while.

Finally, he decided on a bubble laser gun. The gun required batteries so I guess it counted as a bubble machine.

JDaniel was so excited that he couldn’t wait to hold it in his arms. He held it all the way home in its packaging.

When we got home we unpackaged the laser gun and began a search for the right size batteries. We found one in the spot we keep batteries and had to “borrow” one from an unused toy.

Once the laser gun was loaded and ready to go, we took it outside for a test drive. It produced a plethora of the most beautiful bubbles. They had hues of yellow, red, and blue that you could see as the bubbles floated around the yard.

There was a small dilemma for JDaniel. Do you put down your bubble gun before you run after the bubbles or just carry it with you?

Some of the bubbles quickly floated to the ground and popped. Others drifted across the yard and seemed to disappear in mid-air. Some of the bubbles floated up into the air and seemed to float on forever.

JDaniel decided that those bubbles were going to God. “God must need to see bubbles today!” he announced.

Later when the little boy next door came out he and JDaniel had the best time taking turns chasing bubbles and running the bubble laser gun.

When some of the bubbles started floating up again, JDaniel told him about how God needed to see bubbles today. The boy next door told JDaniel that the bubbles were just popping as they floated up in the air due to pressure.

JDaniel didn’t buy his explanation and continued to announce to the bubbles floating up into the sky, “You are heading to Heaven!”

Guess what little science experts from next door started doing after a short time? He started making the same announcement.

I loved sitting on the driveway manning the bubble tray filled with bubble liquid hearing two little boys shouting, “You are heading to Heaven!” to bunches of bubbles as they ran all over the yard.

It was a truly special afternoon! I bet God loved hearing their words and seeing the beautiful bubbles too.
