Water games – Outline below with some ideas, feel free to make up/use any other games. - Water pistol SPLAT The player standing in the middle of the circle is the “splatter”. The splatter randomly squirts water at someone and shouts “SPLAT!” The player pointed to must duck down; then the two players on either side of the “ducker” must “splat” each other by pointing to the other and saying “SPLAT!” Whoever is slowest get squirted with water and sits down and is out. Keep going until there is only 1 person left. They are the winner and become the splatter next.
– Duck Duck SPLASH – This game is similar to Duck Duck Goose. Sit the kids sit in a circle. The child who is ‘it’ has a cup of water. She walks around saying duck, duck, duck, while splashing a little water on each head as she walks by. When she gets to the person she wants to tag, she yells, “Splash!” and dumps the rest of the water from the cup onto that kid’s head. That kid has to chase them around the circle to try and beat them back to their spot or else they are the new ‘it’.
Time bomb but with a water bomb. One person is in the middle of the circle and they close their eyes and count to 10 in their head at any speed they like. Children start passing the water bomb around the circle carefully. When the person in the middle gets to 10 they shout “bomb” and whoever has the water bomb has to splash it on their own head.
Water balloon catch: This game simply requires some water balloons. Pick partners and toss the water balloons to each other. How many times can you pass it to your partner before you get soaked? Try and beat your score!
Water gun tag: Water gun tag is sort of like laser tag. Split into two teams and try to squirt the other team. The team with the driest shirts at the end wins! You can also play water fun hide and seek. Have one kid be ‘it’ while the other kids hide. When the kid who’s ‘it’ finds any of the other players, they get a wet surprise.
Water relay: For this game, split the kids into two teams. Each team has two buckets and an extra-large sponge. Fill one of the buckets with water and put it a few yards in front of the empty bucket. The point of this game is that one player from each team takes their sponge, runs down to the full bucket, fills the sponge with water and runs back to squeeze as much water as possible into the empty bucket. Then the next player goes and so forth, like a relay. The team with the most water in their bucket (the one that started out empty) wins.
Liquid Limbo: This game is a wet ‘n wild take on limbo. Just take a hose and turn the water on full blast. Use the stream of water as the limbo stick. See who can limbo the lowest without getting wet. Multi-sports
