footbag

Pellet-filled kick toy

A footbag is a small round bag filled with sand, pellets, or beads, kicked and kept aloft using the feet, knees, and legs.

The game itself is also called footbag, though many know it by the trademark Hacky Sack.

Players form circles and pass the bag around, with the challenge being to keep it from touching the ground: We played footbag in the quad between classes.
