How to Blow Up a Balloon: Mime Basics

"We have our balloon. We have to stretch it. Now, we're going to take both our hands here and get it very close to the mouth. Be careful. This is when your lips can get all over your gloves, so it has to be very careful. I'm going to fill. Look how close I got my body. I'm going to fill up with air by filling up my lungs here, bringing my body up. Then pushing it into the balloon. The very first time I blow it up, my hands are going to show this. It's just moving a little bit. Reach the body up once again. It's getting bigger. You generally only do this about 3 times. We have a little and a bigger, and the last one."
