Balloon Buddies

Players: 8 or more
   
Equipment: 1 balloon for each player;
Names of players on small slips
   
Preparation: Put a slip bearing the name of a player in each balloon;
Blow up the balloons and tie them at the mouths
   
When you're ready for the next paired-up game or dance, let the balloons fly and tell the players to take one each. When they burst the balloon, they will find inside it the name of their next partner.

If you want to make sure that you're pairing up boys with girls, use 2 different colors of balloons. Put only boys' names in one color and girls' in the other, and tell the players which color to reach for.

Players get two partners - the one they pick and the one who picks them - enough for two games.
