Under the Games with Bicycle Tires list, you will find games you can play using tractor or truck tubes. However, there is one drawback: Tubes as big are usually not available in the conventional trade stores and therefore, they are more and harder to obtain. If you are still keen on using tubes for your games, by all means you could try the local tire dealers. Sometimes they have some tubes which cannot be used on vehicles anymore. If needed you can patch up the tube and put a new valve in, this way, a tube is not such a big burden to your budget.
However, what alternatives are there, if you really cannot get hold of such a big tube? In this case, you can also use a long, conventional bicycle tube, which you can buy for little money in the next bike shop or at the hardware store.
However, whenever using tubes, the youth worker has to pay particular attention to the safety of all players. You never know, in the heat of the game there could be risky situations. For security reasons, it is advisable to wrap the valve with a tape. Otherwise, it can lead to unsightly injuries which will dampen the fun.
