Did you ever play the balloon game growing up? There’s one simple rule: hit the balloon up in the air without letting it hit the ground. This was a CLASSIC game amongst kids, and now it’s a sport.
the Balloon World Cup was last week

It’s so competitive that I really think we need an Olympics for children’s games. All the classics: the floor is lava, red rover, grounder, capture the flag.
Children’s games being played by adults… sounds familiar. That’s basically Squid Game… minus the killing.
It would be so fun though! If you were to compete in an Olympics of children’s games, what would be your discipline?
Honestly, I think I could make it to the World Championships for the balloon game. I’m not fast, I’m not nimble, but I will recklessly throw my body around to hit that balloon!
