Balloon Games
Balloon games are great party games for kids. They're great as teamwork games for kids, outdoor party games or indoor party games.
4 or more players
Ages: 5 and up
Need balloon, string, chairs
Begin by setting up the playing field. Place 2 chairs side by side about 7 feet apart with backs facing each other.
Tie the string to the backs of each chair. This is the net.
Divide the kids into 2 teams with an equal number of players. They line up on opposite sides of the net and face each other.
One team starts with a player hitting the balloon, trying to get it over the net to the opposing team.
Her teammates can help her by hitting the balloon so it goes over the net. No player may hit it more than once on her side.
When the balloon goes over the net the opposing team hits it trying to get it back over the net.
Once again, no player can hit the balloon twice.
When the balloon falls to the ground, a team can't get it over the net, or a player hits it twice, the team who did not make the mistake gets one point.
The opposing team then serves and play continues. Players rotate each round so that each child has a chance to serve.
The first team to reach 10 to 20 points (determine this beforehand) wins.
Teachers can use this game in gym class for elementary aged school kids. Or play it at the beach with your kids at an actual volleyball net!
