Set up

Indoors.

How to play

  • Tap the balloon up with your hand.
  • Kick it towards the goal before it lands.
  • Feet only, never heads.
  • Swap feet each go.

Make it easier

Make it harder

  • Only other-foot kicks count.

Three things to say

  • Watch the balloon onto your foot and kick through it.

Colts habit

Work hard: a full minute.

Both feet

Swap feet each go.

Heads up

Eyes on the balloon all the way.

Safety: Move fragile things, glass and sharp corners. Keep away from stairs. Play in bare feet or grippy socks, not slippy socks. If the balloon bursts, pick up every piece straight away (choking risk for young children). Check for latex allergy.

My best

Goals in 1 minute. Last time and this time. Only ever compared with your own earlier go, never with anyone else. Saved on this device only.
