By Geography & Math Made Easy
LESSON: 99 RED BALLOONS: A STUDY OF THE COLD WAR
GRADE LEVEL: 6-9th
TIME FRAME: 90 MINUTES
TYPE OF ACTIVITY: GROUP COOPERATION
This lesson makes what could be a boring topic to students very interesting, fun, and interactive! Who doesn't like red balloons?
OBJECTIVE:
o Students will explore the anti-war song “99 Red Balloons”. Known in German as “99 Luftballoons”.

PREPARATION:
o Divide the classroom into groups of two. I encourage two to cover as many of the terms as possible. If you wish to have more terms covered, you may have each student complete one assignment.
o Your school may own a helium tank or have the school purchase it. May be cheaper to go to Walmart, Dollar Tree, or another store to purchase these balloons if the school cannot cover the cost of a tank. You may also consider having other teachers who would like to use this idea go in together to purchase it. PTA is sometimes willing to purchase these items. Places like Michael’s or Joann’s provide coupons to purchase items 40-50% off. Provide one balloon per group. (You may or the school may purchase a party helium balloon.)
Alternative to helium balloons: If you are unable to obtain red helium balloons, a reproducible balloon is provided in this lesson. Have the students color the balloon red, or reproduce it on red paper. You will be able to staple the ribbon to the balloon and students can still complete this activity.
