What better way to cool off on a hot summer’s day than with an outdoor party game that gets kids soaked with water balloons? The object of the game is to catch the water balloons so that they don’t pop. But having them burst in your hands can be just as fun!

What you’ll need:

Filled water balloons

How to play:

Have kids line up in pairs. Have each pair stand a couple of feet apart facing each other.

The object of the game is to have kids throw the filled water balloon back and forth to their partner without it bursting.

After each catch, the child who caught the balloon has to take a step back. The pair who still has an intact water balloon after everyone else’s has burst wins.
