When its hot outside, and the kids want to cool off and have fun at the same time, Water Balloons are the answer. Here are some ideas that our family tried with little preparation and planning.
Water Balloons:
Volley: Throw the water balloons back and forth between 2 people. When it is caught each time, without the balloon breaking, that person takes a step back. The winner is the one who doesn’t break the balloon.
Dodge Ball: Split into two teams, try to dodge water balloons being thrown at you from the other team, as you throw them at them.
Toss (version of Hot Potato): A group of people gather in a circle, and toss a water balloon to someone else, keep going as fast as you can until it breaks on someone, then that person is out. The last one playing wins.
Fill the Bucket: Form lines of equal amounts of people. Have a bucket at each end of each line. One bucket is full of water balloons, the other is empty. The empty bucket has a line drawn in it to show how much water is needed in that bucket to finish the race. The first person in line grabs a balloon from the first bucket and passes to the next person in line, and it keeps being passed down the line until the last person breaks it into the bucket. The first team to have water filled to the finish line in their bucket wins.
Have a safe and wonderful summer! Hope you will be able to try this. If you have any other ideas or suggestions, I would love to hear from you.
