Each player gets a balloon and a piece of string. Before starting players must blow up their balloon and tie one end of the string (string is no longer than 1 ft) to their ankle and the other end to the balloon.

The facilitator makes sure that players know the confined area they have to stay in. When the facilitator says go, players must try to pop other player's balloons by only using their feet.

When a player has his or her balloon popped, he or she must exit the playing field. The last one remaining their their balloon is the winner.

Something that can be helpful is to decrease the playing field size as more players are eliminated.
