1. Balloon Tennis

5. Glow in the Dark Bowling
! Grab some glow sticks, a hamster ball (or any regular ball) and some empty plastic bottles. Activate the glow sticks and put two inside the empty bottles, fill with water and line up, bowling-pin style. If you're using a hamster ball, tape the glow sticks to the inside of the ball or if you're using a regular ball, tape in one direction of the ball (roll the ball in that direction so it doesn't interfere with the roll.
