Red balloons at the ready! Are you ready to doot? It’s time to join the Keepy Uppy Challenge!

Cheese and crackers! Bluey and Bingo love playing Keepy Uppy. It’s great exercise when it’s too wet or cold to play outside and so much fun. Inspired by Bluey’s appearance as a giant balloon at this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, we’re on the hunt for kiddos (and their grown-ups) to take part in our fun new Keepy Uppy challenge. Even pets can join in – as long as they play by the rules of course.

All you need:

• A red balloon filled with oxygen only (no cheating with helium-filled balloons please, bumblenuts!)
• A friend/pet to play with
• A safe place to play (away from mum’s favourite vase)

The rules of the game are simple. Take turns ‘dooting’ (yes that’s the technical term) the balloon, to keep it up in the air. You can use any part of your body to ‘doot’ it but you can’t let the red balloon touch the ground, walls or furniture. And if the balloon pops mid-game, it’s game over. What’s the longest you can make a game last?

Once you’ve honed your Keepy Uppy skills, make a video of you playing and share it with us on Facebook, TikTok and Insta.

Keep up with the latest Keepy Uppy challenge videos and be inspired by others taking part on TikTok too. Don’t forget to #Bluey in all your attempts! #KeepyUppy #KeepyUppyChallenge

We can’t wait to see your videos. As Mackenzie would say, “Dooting is fun!”
