Keep the Balloon up!

Everyone stands in a circle, and throw a balloon in the middle.

Round 1: Keep the balloon off the floor, people in the circle have to run in and hit the balloon up while saying their name (the same person can't hit the balloon twice).

Round 2: The same, but when you hit the balloon up in the air, instead of saying your own name, you say the name of someone else and they have to come in next to hit the balloon.

                  I swear I invented this game :). I guess great minds think alike when you need a game quick, and all you have is a balloon. In our version, everyone is seated. Before someone hits the balloon (upward hits only--no spiking or sideways hits), that person must say someone else's name, rather than saying it after hitting the balloon. If you don't say the name before you hit it, you turn your chair sideways (signalling you are out). If you name someone who is out, you become out.
                  Another important rule is that once you hit the balloon, your heiny must touch your chair before you can hit it again. This gets crazy when it's down to two people!
