Expressive Language. ESL Category Games. Balloon Volleyball Age/Level: Young learners Time: 10-15 minutes Players: 2 teams Preparation: A balloon Aim: To say a word from a category every time a balloon is hit Your students will love playing this energetic vocabulary game. This game helps students revise categories of words. You will need quite a lot of space for this balloon game and something to use as a net. This category game is exactly like volleyball but instead of a ball, a balloon is used. Procedure Put the students into two teams. The aim is to keep the balloon airborne while passing it over the net. The teacher starts by shouting a category, e.g. adverbs. Every time the inflatable is hit, either to another teammate or over the net, the student must say a word from the category. If the balloon hits the floor, a word is not said, or a word is repeated the opposing team wins a point. Play for five minutes and then change sides or teams depending.
