Nothing beats playing around with water balloons on a hot summer day. Here are 3 creative and fun ways to use them this summer with your friends.
1. WATER BALLOON ROULETTE: This game adds a refreshing twist to the traditional piñata game. Fill several water balloons and hang them from a tree branch or clothesline using strings of varying lengths. Blindfold each player in turn and give them a plastic bat or stick to hit the water balloons. The challenge is to burst the water balloons while being soaked by the splashing water. Here's the Roulette addition, fill one of the balloons with something other than water....maybe flour or applesauce.
2. Water Balloon Baseball: The game follows the basic rules of baseball, but instead of a solid ball, players use water balloons. The pitcher throws a water balloon to the batter, who tries to hit it with a bat and run to the bases. If the water balloon bursts, it counts as a hit, and if caught without bursting, it's an out. The game continues until all players have had a turn at bat, and the team with the most runs wins. Have fun with it and add in your own crazy rules.
3. Water Balloon Volleyball: Set up a volleyball net in your backyard and fill several water balloons. Divide the players into two teams and position them on either side of the net. Instead of using a regular volleyball, use a water balloon as the "ball." The objective is to hit the water balloon over the net and prevent it from hitting the ground on your side. If a team fails to catch the water balloon or it bursts on their side, the opposing team earns a point. The first team to reach a predetermined number of points wins the game. It's a wet and exciting twist on a classic sport.
