If you ever work with equipment which is cooled by liquid Nitrogen, you will see that if you run a lot of it, then Oxygen starts to liquefy and drip off of the hoses. Nitrogen and Oxygen are not nobel gases of course. But you can try to liquefy the nobel gases. Helium will have the lowest liquefication temperature.
But you could also try them in a discharge lamp, look at the color, and also try to measure the exact spectrum. And the nobel gases won't react with the electrodes like most other gases will.

It's right there in the periodic table! ;)
You also might try to capture it and test its temperature of liquefaction.
