Backyard balloon volleyball

Get the kids active but without creating chaos during your next party or gathering with a game of balloon volleyball. This twist on an all-time favourite beach volleyball game is fun and easy to play inside or out.

What you need:

• String
• 20cm inflated balloon

Number of players:
6+

Activity:

Set up the “volleyball court” by running a piece of string across the playing space, about 40cm off the ground.

Divide the players into two teams.

The two teams must lie on their backs with their feet in the air on each side of the string.

Decide who goes first. The first player must kick the balloon over the string.

The teams must kick the balloon back and forth over the string using only their feet and hands while lying on their backs.

If the balloon touches the floor, the team who missed it allows the other team to gain one point.

The first team to reach 15 points wins.
