A large balloon is placed on a chair, or preferably on a small stool,
anywhere on a line which is halfway between two even lines of players.
At a given signal a player from each line walks forward to the balloon.
Each tries to snatch it and run back to his place without letting his
opponent touch him or the balloon. If he arrives safely it counts one
for his side. The next two players then try the same stunt. After each
pair of players has tried the stunt, each member of the line having the
largest score gets a balloon.
