Human Foosball

Tonight my students played Human Foosball with balloons.  The students sat in rows of chairs facing the direction of their goals.  We used balloons as the balls (1 balloon for every person), and students had to try to get the balloons in the opponent's goal.  Every other row was facing a different direction.  (The direction of their team's goal)  The teachers were the referees and they also helped keep the balloons in the area.  It went pretty well, but my students figured out that if the balloons touched the ceiling, they popped.  So they though that was cooler than getting the balloons in the goal, and most of them popped.  All in all I thought it was a pretty successful game, and the kids seemed to like it.  Good for a lot of students as long as your have enough room to do it.  You could play this game outside with beach balls too.
