Water Games

I have been trying to collect water games for our upcoming ward Barbecue. These are some of the ideas I collected.

1.) Water Kickball. The idea is simple, it is played just like regular kick ball. The catch is the bases. 1st base is a kiddie pool, second base is a sprinkler, third is manned by someone with a super soaker and you slide into home on a slip n slide.

2.) Water Balloon Volley Ball. This is volleyball with a twist. You use blankets to throw and catch the "ball" which is a water balloon. It is quite challenging to get the four people holding the sides to work together as a team.

3.) Water Balloon Catch. Cut a milk carton into a scoop. Have at least two and use it to toss a water balloon between people. But don't let it hit the ground, if it pops, you are out!

4.) Great Foot Freeze. Fill a kiddie pool with water, ice and several small objects. They players goal is to get the objects out of the pool. But they can only use their feet.

5.) Balloon Shave. Fill a large balloon full of water. Cover the front with shaving cream. Try to get it off with a razor. The first to get it done without popping the balloon, wins!

6.) Cold Potato. This game is played just like "Hot Potato," but instead of an object being hot, you pass a water balloon with a slow leak in it. Whoever has it when the water runs out, loses!

7.) Sink or Float. I needed some smaller kid activities. So I thought just a Water Table might work. Let kids play with the sink of float concept and put things in there that will allow them to explore both concept. (ie. silverware, a cork, pieces of wood, a toy boat, etc.)

8.) Duck, Duck, Squirt. Again, a little kid idea. A variation of "Duck, Duck, Goose" but instead of Goose, the it person squirts the "goose" with a squirt gun.

I also was hoping to have a sprinkler to run in and a slip n slide. Just for some spontaneous fun.
