Water Day Activities !


Sponge Tag :

Using soaking wet sponges play tag with one person being "it" and tagging someone by throwing sponges instead of touching one another.

You can play a freeze tag version having a friend unfreeze you.

Or TV tag where you are frozen for 5 seconds then you have to shout out the name of a TV show.

For the last 2 varieties you would assign a 5 minute "it" time and it would then be someone else's turn.


Bouncing Balloons :

Using a few water balloons and either a sheet or a parachute if you have one bounce the balloons up in the air by shaking the sheet in the air and see how long you can keep the balloons bouncing !


Hula Hoop Sponge Toss Game :

Place one or two hula hoops on the grass and take turns trying to throw wet sponges into the hula hoops !!


Rainbow ice cubes :

Make rainbow ice cubes with food coloring and ice cube trays.

I am planning to put water in the water table and dump lots of rainbow ice cubes in to it and let the kids play with them. You can however have a race to see who can melt the ice cube the fastest in their hands !! COLD STUFF !


Bubble Bath Pool :

Before filling up tour kiddie pool put a big squirt of bubble bath in it and let the kids have a bubble bath pool party ! You can do this with the water table as well :)


Have fun getting wet !
