Water balloons games for SUMMER!

It is going to be hot this week and a perfect time to play with Water Balloons!!

             Educational ballons-  Write children favourite words in each balloon, and when they throw them they have to read them and shout the word! You can do same with alphabet ( each letter for each balloon), numbers, etc..

Obstacle Course  - Designate an area for the obstacle course and lay water balloons randomly all over the ground.  Kids line up on one side and try to run from one side to the other without stepping on and breaking any balloons.  Make area smaller and move balloons closer together, and try again.  Keep decreasing the obstacle course area until the entire area is almost completely filled with balloons!

• Water Balloon Piñata - Fill water balloons and hang them for some serious fun!
• Catch – Partners stand close facing each other and take turns throwing water balloon back and forth, taking a step farther away each time.  Alternative: Lather up your hands with dish soap for some slippery fun.
