BALLOON TENNIS
Tie a piece of string between two chairs to form the “net,” and use your hands as rackets, and you can have quite an exciting game of tennis with an air-filled balloon. One player serves the balloon to the other by hitting it with the palm of the hand, and the player on the other side must trj to hit it back before it touches the ground or any furniture in the room. If the balloon drops to the ground or hits anything, the player opposite gains a point. If a player fails to hit the ball over the net, his opponent scores a point. You can play twelve points to the game and six games to the set, or any other number of points you like to choose.
