Wish my school did this

[7balloon]

A teacher gave a balloon to every student, who had to inflate it, write their name on it and throw it in the hallway. The teacher then mixed all the balloons. The students were then given 5 minutes to find their own balloon. Despite a hectic search, no one found their balloon.
At that point, the teacher told the students to take the first balloon that they found and hand it to the person whose name was written on it. Within 5 minutes, everyone had their own balloon.
The teacher said to the students: "These balloons are like happiness. We will never find it if everyone is looking for their own. But if we care about other people's happiness, we'll find ours too."
May your day be filled with happiness. ❤️

Aww. Very cute, and what a great sentiment!! (Though I would have been somewhere between mortified, terrified and incredibly turned on had this happened in my school...)

Such experiments are also interesting to watch for you can see who blows up his/her balloon to what size

That was well said and demonstrated by a simple example. Life's lessons.

Re: Wish my school did this

I'm gonna be honest with you. If I was still in school, I would have just run and hid in the washroom to avoid the inevitability immediately following the experiment. My phobia of popping is exacerbated by kids with balloons.
