Heliom = wrong spelling
helium = correct spelling
Take an empty balloon and fill it with helium gas.
The balloon will fill and expand. Therefore it, the
helium gas, is taking up space. Works for me...

Fill a piston-chamber with a fixed number of moles of helium.
It can be shown that it obeys the ideal gas law PV=nRT.
Thus by controlling either the pressure or the temperature, the volume will adjust to fit the PV=nRT relationship, and will be non-zero at any temperature above absolute zero. Non-zero volume implies that it takes up space.
Done.

The old classic experiment of feeding it up into an
inverted gas jar full of water. The amount of water
displaced is equal to the volume of the gas.
