Rub the inflated balloon on your clothing, especially on nylon material. A static charge will produce a spark when a finger is put near enough to the charged balloon.

Why a balloon now negatively charged?

When you rub a balloon onto your hair or piece of clothing, the balloon collects the electrons (negative charge) from the hair or clothing you rubbed it on. The balloon now has more electrons (negative charge) than protons (positive charge) making it have a negative charge. The hair or clothing has more protons than electrons making it have a positive charge.
