Enter the Zorb Football and Nerf Gun Party combo: an unbeatable pairing that brings tactical thinking, laughter, and nonstop movement. And when you book with Bubble Boy Events, you’re guaranteed a professional, stress-free experience with trained staff and top-tier equipment.

Whether it’s your child’s 8th birthday or your tween is about to turn 13, here’s why this dynamic duo of party games is a winner—and how to make it unforgettable in London – St Albans.

⚽ What is Zorb Football?

Zorb Football (also known as Bubble Football) is football—but with a hilarious twist. Each player wears a giant inflatable bubble that covers their upper body, leaving their legs free to run, kick, and (most importantly) bounce!

Why It’s Perfect for Ages 7–14:

• It’s physical without being overly competitive.
• No football skills? No problem—it’s about balance and laughter.
• Kids love bouncing into each other and flipping upside-down safely.
• It builds confidence, coordination, and loads of giggles.

Popular Games Include:

• Classic Bubble Football matches
• Bulldog (Zorb-style)
• Last One Standing
• Bubble Sumo

For this age group, the focus is on fun over competition, and Bubble Boy Events ensures everything is tailored to be safe, age-appropriate, and inclusive.

🔫 Why Nerf Gun Parties Are a Smash Hit

There’s a reason Nerf Gun parties continue to be one of the most requested birthday options year after year. Kids get to live out their action hero dreams with foam dart blasters, inflatable barriers, and team challenges that keep them mentally and physically engaged.

Ideal for 7–14 Year Olds Because:

• Kids are old enough to understand teamwork and tactics.
• It mirrors their favourite games like Fortnite—but off-screen.
• Safety is paramount, with goggles, rules, and referees.
• It appeals to both boys and girls across a wide age range.

Mission Ideas:

• Capture the Flag
• Protect the Base
• Free for All
• Last Blaster Standing

Bubble Boy Events provides all the equipment, setup, and trained staff to make the Nerf zone a safe, exciting battlefield.

Key Benefits:

• Two unique experiences in one party.
• Prevents boredom—just when the kids start tiring from Zorb Football, they jump into a new challenge.
