Balloon game

So far, here's how it goes:

• There will be 2-10 players in two teams
• They will all wear party hats with a sharpie connected on top so you can draw with the tip of the hat
• The sharpies will come in two colours. One for each team
• In a room, the teams will be separated on opposite sides
• 1-3 white balloons will be thrown in the air and all of the players have to headbutt and therefore mark the balloon/s as much as they can for as long as the game goes
• At the end of the game the marks on the balloon/s will be counted. The team's colour which shows up most on the balloon/s determines the winner.

Gotta figure out what's a good amount of balloons, players, area and time for this game. Oh, and a name.

New Game idea

This sort of just popped up whilst playing a random online game. the aim of the game is pretty simple, with those participating having to keep the virtual balls in the air, using only their heads. I know swat about implementation but im sure that you could attach a wiimote onto a helmet or something and that way get the individual to jump up and down like fools. I know it sounds a tad childish, but then again our class seems to have a fascination with balloons and keeping them up in the air...so it should manage to engage, as well as grab their attention.

Game Update

Hi everyone, Ok so we really need to get a good solid idea happening this week.
In Floyds class this week we were experimenting with the idea of using remote control cars, which were controlled by drums, a bike or light. The idea was to control these cars with one of the methods and catch the opponents car. Though the problem with this new idea is the extra costs, the time frame and the cars would have to be of a decent size and quite sturdy so if the player was to step on them it wouldn't break.
Soo, my question is are we scratching this idea completely? Going back to improving Larry the boxing bag, OR shall we come up with another idea? If we do, we need to keep it simply and cheap, so possibly using household items?

Game Variation

Hey, just thought id post the idea i had in class today. So instead of having the boxing bag as a memory/music game, we could have the boxing bag (Larry) have a certain amount of health, say 100hp. And then for every time you punch larry it hurts him, depending on how hard you hit.
Larry would then respond to every blow, (possible words or we had an idea of using an elmo doll)
Then the lower the hp gets, the angrier or the more it responds to every hit.
You can play it as a one player or 2 player, and make the game more challenging by shorting the game time, or giving Larry more Hp, so you have to hit the bag more.
Just an idea.
