What you need Balloon
2 chairs
String

Instructions:  Create your playing field by tying the yarn across a 10-foot area free of furniture and other obstructions. The yarn must be at least one foot above the floor attach each end to a chair.
Each team moves to opposite sides of the string. Ask them to lean on the floor “crab style” with their faces up to the ceiling using their hands and feet to support their bodies. They must remain in this position throughout the entire game.
One person begins by kicking the balloon into the air. Their teammate then scurries to the balloon and tries to launch it over the string and to the other side. The opposing team then kicks the balloon so it floats back.
If one team allows the balloon to touch the floor on its side the other team earns one point. That team then serves trying to kick the balloon to the other side. Play continues until one team reaches 15 points and becomes the winner.
DITCH THE NET-
Regular volleyball with 3 teams or balloon volleyball but the net team sits and can use their hands.
The "net" can take one step in any direction (only one step) to hit the ball. The "net" can change direction of play at any time.
