Booop
Time Allowance: 20 Minutes
Equipment Needed: One balloon for each group of people.
Steps
1. Blow up one of the balloons and tie off the neck.
2. Ask your group of four to six people to join hands in a circle and try to keep the balloon aloft (off the floor) by batting the balloon with any part of their body, including hands which remain clasped.
3. If the balloon touches the floor, the group loses use of their hands.
4. As the balloon continues to eventually and inevitably fall to the floor, keep removing parts of the anatomy that are allowed to strike the balloon; for example, elbows, shoulder, head, thigh, etc.
5. The group that eventually loses use of their feet is out and can then recycle to any point of the game they choose. Watch for high kicks in a small circle.
6. Finish by asking the groups to see how long they can keep a balloon off the floor by blowing only.
