Grab a couple of six foot tables and set them up length ways (this will be your “net”) and have teams of 3 or four. The kids are only allowed to hit the balloon with their heads. Typical Volleyball rules apply, 3 hits per side, can’t hit the balloon twice in a row by same person. This worked out well for me in a clutch, little to nothing on set up time and clean up. We also expanded it later to incorporate hands feet and head, although if they hit it with their hands the next person had to use feet or head, and the final hit (if needed) had to be by the unused “appendage”.

Thanks to Pastor2Youth.com for lending us this game!
