5 Games to Play with Water Balloons

Sometimes it’s the little things - water balloons are endless hours of entertainment

Water Balloon Squat Relay. Set up a “finish line” with a hula hoop or piece of masking tape. Kids run to the finish line, sit on the water balloon and pop it before running back.

Water Balloon Toss. Stand close together across from a partner and toss the water balloon, moving further and further apart with each toss.

Water Balloon Hot Potato. Just like regular hot potato, but whoever has the balloon when the music ends must smash it over their head.

Water Ballon Ring Toss. Have one child hold a hula hoop and another try to make it through the hoop for points.

Leaky Water Relay. Poke a hole in each balloon and kids race to fill a bucket with the leaky balloons. Whichever team fills their bucket first wins
