Our plastic PET Bottle Christmas Present Shooting Game is perfect for Christmas parties and events!
Need a quick craft for your next Christmas lesson or events? This plastic PET Bottle Christmas Present Shooting Game is super quick and easy to make! In fact, it’s so easy that it can be made in under 10 minutes. And best of all, you can probably make them with materials you already have in your classroom or house. We decided to make these with our students since our Halloween Ghost Blasters Shooting Game was such a massive hit!
This Christmas Present Shooting Game is great for lessons, parties, and events because kids love the process of making the plastic PET bottle shooter and then knocking over the presents to see what’s underneath. We have two target templates available. The first template has various presents that appear after getting knocked over. The other template has points like our template for Halloween targets.
The Christmas Present Shooting Game is unique and exciting!
Our Christmas Present Shooting Game is exciting because of the simple physics concept of creating an air gun using a partial vacuum with a balloon and plastic PET bottle. The supplies used are common household things, but kids are amazed when they realize that they can make a Christmas Present Blasting Game!
Are plastic PET Bottle Blasters safe?
Of course these blasters are safe! In fact, shooting Christmas presents with these low-power air blasters is much safer than shooting Christmas presents with real guns. You could shoot your eye out with a real gun, but that’s 99.999% impossible with a soft blast of air. In other words, they’re totally safe. Just remember to remind your students or kids never to point an air blaster (or any gun for that matter) at a person.
Also, don’t forget to securely tape the balloon to the plastic PET bottle to prevent it from coming off when being pulled. If you don’t, the balloon could come off, ruining the experience of shooting Christmas presents. To be extra safe, you can also use goggles while going postal on the Christmas presents.

How to make and play the Christmas Present Shooting Game
The Christmas Present Shooting Game is one of our most popular crafts for kids. Just follow the three simple steps below.
Step 1 – Prepare the plastic bottle for the Present Blasters
Cut off the bottom of the plastic PET bottle to make the cylinder of the plastic bottle air blaster. The edges might be a little bit jagged or sharp, so it’s important to put a layer of electrical tape around this to keep it safe for children. This also prevents the balloon from tearing or ripping after it’s attached.
Optionally, you can decorate the plastic bottle air blaster. Just print out our template on B4 sized paper (25 x 35.3 cm 9.8 x 13.9 in.), write your name on it, and put it inside the plastic bottle before attaching the balloon.
Step 2 – Attach the balloon to the plastic bottle
Tie a knot in the balloon like in the picture and then cut a small piece from the top of the balloon. Next, stretch it over the wide part of the plastic PET bottle and attach it with another layer of tape.
Continue to decorate the air blaster with markers, ribbons, or other decorations if you want to.
Step 3 – Cut out the present targets and fold at the base
Finally, download our free template of presents with points or vocab words to play the Christmas Present Shooting Game. There are 12 presents total, and each one has a different point value or vocabulary word on the bottom depending on which set you print and use. We recommend printing these on thicker paper to make them a little more durable.
Finally, you can play the game. Gently pull back on the balloon and release to knock down the presents and get points or the vocab words underneath. If the balloon gets pulled into the plastic bottle, just give it a quick shake from the top to fix it.
