And sometimes I ask my clients to swap hands- use their non dominant hand . we use a short pool noodle to hit the balloons and try to keep it / them off the ground ! Yes, after a bit of time, I throw in a second balloon!
Also, musical balloons. I play music like the chicken dance. They pass the balloon or ball from person to person . I turn my back to them and randomly stop the music . Who ever has the balloon or ball in their hand has to perform an action like rowing a boat or rocking a baby or tap their head while rubbing their tummy ....
A colleague referred this resource to assist in implementing our activities program many years ago. I felt, I had struck 'gold.' It has been immeasurable in assisting to provide new material and ideas to stimulate our clients. I will be a member for my working life. Thank you!
