Balloon Tennis with Pool Noodles!

Our residents enjoyed playing a game of balloon tennis in our dining room – it was as if we’d arrived at Wimbledon!

We used pool noodles as our tennis rackets and balloons for the tennis balls, a great way to exercise our arms and upper bodies. Residents loved trying to keep the balloon in the air and watching their friends trying to do the same. Colleagues joined in and were giggling at each other’s efforts and shouting words of support to each other. Margaret said “it’s much better playing in a circle, rather than over a table, as it’s easier to hit the balloon to each other. It was great fun, but we were tired the next day!”
