Medium to large balloons (any color)

For these games you will need medium to large balloons (any color). Consider latex-free balloons as some students may have allergies to latex.
Divide students into equal groups of 3 to 6 people per group. These games can be done either standing or sitting.
Have the each group form a circle. Using just one balloon, see how many times they can volley the balloon without it hitting the ground or see how long they can keep it in the air (i.e. 1 minute, 2 minutes, etc.) The team that keeps the balloon up the longest wins!
A different version of this game would be to add a second balloon to the mix and have the students try the same activity.
Give youth the option to do this from a seated position so individuals who use a wheelchair can join in the fun, too!
