Kids love
water balloons, its just a fact! So head to your local dollar store,
pick up a pack of water balloons and keep the kids entertained for
hours! Here are a few of our favorite water balloon games!
Towel Toss
Number of Players: 4+
Supplies: 1 towel for each team of 2, filled up water balloons
Object: To use the towel to toss the balloon to the other
team (each player holds 2 corners of the towel), and to catch the
balloon when it is tossed to you.
Slow Leak
Number of Players: 2+
Supplies: a tack, water balloons
Object: To get wet
How: Use the tack to poke a hole in a couple of balloons,
then fill with water and have one of the players plug the hole with
their finger. Repeat and repeat again. Its best to fill up the water
balloons outside! Have the players sit in a circle. When you say, "GO"
the players pass the balloons around the circle until they are empty.
Relay
Number of Players: 2+
Supplies: filled water balloons, midway marker (rope/chalk)
Object: To pop all of the balloons before their opponent does
How: This is a twist on the balloon popping relay. Each
team gets a pile of balloons. They must run to the midway marker and sit
on their balloon to pop it and return to the starting point. Players
can also hop, skip, or walk backwards to in order to mix things up.
