Red Balloon Energizer In-depth activity and discussion
Get students up on their feet and thinking about their immediate and long-term goals in life. They must keep their balloons aloft in order to succeed. But what happens when an addiction comes into the picture? The red balloon interferes with their dreams, and affects others as well. Eventually something gets dropped, and sometimes with tragic consequences.
