Bubbles – Playgroup

Bubbles are a perfect across the ages activity for playgroup. Babies can watch from an adult’s arms, tracking the movement of the bubbles, while younger children chase and pop the bubbles blown by older children and adults. Bubbles can bring lots of energy to a group as they have fun together.

Did you know?

Taking turns when blowing bubbles is a playful way to build patience and sharing.

Emotional Development

Bubbles have lots of opportunities to encourage resilience and persistence. Modeling positive self-talk helps develop this skill in young children.  “Oh it didn’t work… try again” “Oh it spilt, let’s see if we can fix that by getting some more.”

Variations

Giant bubble wands can be fun for a big group to use together. They can be a great attention grabber at a community event.
