So
you bought a set of the Walla Ballas to use for barmitsvas, picnics
and parties. You've used them a couple of times and thought if only
there was more to do with them. Your prayers have been answered. You
don't have to pack them away after using them at one function. We
have come up with a list of games you can use them for. For those of
you that have no idea what a Walla Balla is read on. Walla Balla is a
novelty party game created by IceBreaker Enterprises of Atlanta
Georgia in the US. It consists of three small baskets attached to a
backboard you strap to your waist. Hanging from this backboard is a
ball on a string. They come in multiple colors and are easy to adjust
to fit even the smallest child.
The
first player to get their ball in a basket has set the goal, to put
the ball in that specific basket, (ie blue). All other players have a
time limit, or a particular song, to make the same basket, (ie blue).
Players who don't have their ball in the specific basket (blue) get a
letter (ie "H"). The game begins again with the first ball
in a basket deciding the color. Players continue to play until they
have received all five letters ("H", "O",
"R", "S", "E") at which time they are
out of the game. This game can last a long time. (4 to20 players)
