water balloon catch

This is a great game for a hot day, especially if guests are not afraid to get wet. Fill up a bunch of water balloons, find two colanders, and divide guests into two teams. Each team picks one person to "catch" the balloon in the colander.

The catcher stands several feet away from the rest of their team and holds the colander on their head. The teammates take turns tossing the water balloons in the air while the catcher tries to catch the balloons in the colander.

If the whole team wants to get wet, play the game as a relay where the catcher returns to the team and the thrower then becomes the catcher. The team that catches the most balloons wins.

If you have at least 8 guests and a large area to play, this is a game is a lot of fun. Divide guests into two teams.

Stick 5 handheld American flags into the ground on the far side of each teams territory. Using cones mark a center line to divide the area in territories.

 The object of the game is for each team to capture as many flags as they can and bring them back to their territory and stick the flag pole into their territories ground, but if a player gets tagged while in the other teams territory they must forfeit any flags they may have on their person and sit where they were tagged until they are freed by one of their team mates tagging them.

water gun cup race!

For this game you will need a red solo cup, a blue solo cup, string or thin rope, two trees or poles 8-12 feet apart and two decent water guns.

Take the red cup, cut a small hole in it and string it through your string or rope. Tie each side of the rope taut between the two trees or poles. DO the same with the blue cup by putting it on a new string, but make sure to tie that string parallel to the one with the red cup.

Two players face off against each other at a time. Start with the cups on the same end close to the players. Each player shoots their water gun into the cup to propel it down the string to the other side. The first player to get their cup there first wins!
