Splat

Divide your group into 2 teams. Place some water balloons inside a hula hoop or draw a circle with some chalk to put the balloons inside. One at a time players must race down and try to pop one water balloon before running back and tagging their next team mate. The team who pops all of their balloons first will win. To make this more challenging, players are not allowed to use their hands or feet to pop the balloons.

Fill your bucket

You can play this game individually or in teams. Fill up plenty of water balloons and scatter over the yard. Give each person (or team) an empty container. Players must try to fill their container with water from the water balloons as quickly as possible. To do this, they need to find a water balloon and pop it, emptying the water into their container and continue doing this until their container is full or the time has run out. Players can only carry one water balloon at a time.
