How to play: Divide the children into two teams, and then pair up team members. Give each pair a beach towel. Each player will hold two corners of the towel. One pair begins by putting a water balloon in the center of their towel. That pair will toss the water balloon to a pair on the opposing team, who will try to catch the water balloon with their towel.
The rules: If you don't have a volleyball net, you can divide the two teams by pacing off a distance between them. Players will volley the water balloon back and forth until a pair misses the water balloon, causing it to break. This gives the opposing team a point.
How to win: The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.
What else you need to know: To adjust this game for younger children, use sheets or blankets instead of beach towels.

Alicia said...Or, you know, you could always do what the kids in my family do and fill 'em up at family picnics and then target the grownups. No one gets out alive and it reminds everyone over 18 that it's okay to pretend you're 8 again.

MemoriesGrow said...I agree with Alicia - it'll always degenerate into a water balloon fight. It's just too tempting with the filled up water balloons just sitting there.
Just make sure someone takes pictures. And doesn't take a balloon to the face while taking a photo.

Alicia said...Yeah, that always hurts. Or just taking one to the nose in general, especially if you wear glasses. Leaves wicked marks.
