Pass the Water
Supplies: Buckets, Water, Plastic Cups
Get ready to get soaked with this exciting team competition game. Be the first team with the most water in your bucket and you win! All you need is water, enough plastic cups for each player, and two buckets.
Spray Off
Supplies: Balloons, Buckets, Squirt Bottles
Think you can control your balloon with a squirt of a water bottle? Show off your skills by guiding your balloon through the air and into the waiting trash can before your opponent does. All it takes for this game are two trash bins or storage buckets, balloons, and two squirt bottles.
Puddle Jumper
Supplies: Ping-Pong Balls, Water, Cups
This is a game of skill that puts your lungs to the test as you blow your ping pong ball from one cup of water to the next. Clear all the cups before the other team does and your team will be declared the winners!
Frozen T-Shirt Relay
Supplies: Frozen T-shirts
This game is a classic, classic as in it was played in the 80s (and maybe even before.) Freeze a wet t-shirt and each team must unravel that frozen t-shirt and get it over their head in… you guessed it, 60 seconds!
