Bail out the Boat

What You'll Need:
Two Large Buckets (same size) /Two Small Buckets (same size) Water / Large Plastic Cups (at least one for every child, plus a few extras, if possible)

At the Party:
Fill the two large buckets with water. Divide the children into two teams, and line the teams up in front of the two smaller, empty buckets. The children should be lined up one behind the other with about two feet between each child. Place a full bucket of water and some cups at the back of each line. When you say, "Bail," the last child in each line picks up a cup, lls it with water from the bucket, and passes it to the next person in line. The full cup is passed to the front of the line where the rst team member dumps the water into the team's empty bucket. At the same time, the last child in line keeps lling and passing cups up the line. The rst team to ll its bucket to the top wins

Batter up! Get ready for summer with this wet and wild version of baseball. Water balloons are used instead of baseballs in this game, so get prepared to get wet.

Peg-leg race. Divide kids into pairs and tie an ankle of each pair together with a bandanna, as in a three-legged race. Hot Cannonball toss. Children stand in a circle and toss around a water balloon until it bursts. The person who gets wet is out, and the circle gradually gets smaller until theres a winner.

Cannon ball toss

The kids can simply compete against themselves, attempting to throw more cannonballs through the holes each time it is their turn. Or, one at a time, hand each child three cannonballs. Give them one point for each ball they throw through a hole and have someone keep score. After everyone has had a turn, tally up the points.
