A Celebrity Balloon Debate is a classic educational game where participants argue why their chosen famous person (historical figure, celebrity, fictional character) should be saved from a sinking hot air balloon, forcing them to justify the "sacrifice" of others based on perceived societal value, achievements, and impact, fostering critical thinking, public speaking, and persuasive skills. Participants present speeches, answer questions, and an audience or judge votes on who best convinced them, often using themes like historical significance or modern relevance.
