Balloon Volleyball Game
Balloon Volleyball is a game that can be played standing up, sitting down, indoors, or outdoors.
It’s easy to play and set up, making it a great game to play at home or take to a party.
Here’s What You’ll Need For Balloon Volleyball:
- 1 balloon – blown up with air (have a few more ready just in case the first one pops)
- Paper Streamer
- *alternatives to streamer can be a string, a volleyball net or just use masking tape on the floor
Setting up the game: Making the volleyball court
- Find an open area to play the game so the players have room to move around
- Find 2 items to tie the paper streamer to that are across from each other – creating your net
- *I did not have 2 items directly across from each other so we used a stuffed giraffe and a pillar
- Tie the streamer, string or net to your two items
- Blow up some balloons
- Have one ready to go and others in a bag in case the first one pops
Alternatives for setting up the volleyball court:
- Players can stand in a circle with a line down the middle of the floor
Playing the game:
- Divide players into two teams
- Decide on which team serves first
- Give that team the balloon
- The team should serve the balloon across the net to the other team
- Play goes on with each team passing the balloon back and forth across the net without it touching the ground
- If the balloon touches the ground, the team on the side of the dropped balloon loses that match and a point is awarded to the other side
- The team to get to 10 points first, wins the game!
Tips for playing Balloon Volleyball:
- Store extra balloons that are blown up in a bag and ready to replace a popped balloon
- Alternatives to a paper streamer net are string, a volleyball net or even a piece of masking tape on the floor as a dividing line
- Use a beach ball instead of a balloon
