Wonderful Water Games

Some of the following activities may lead you to other online sites. Always have your parents permission before you follow any links online or before you begin any projects at home. In fact, have your parents with you when you watch online videos in case of ads or other pop-ups for your own safety. Do not share any personal information online.

Anytime that you are playing around water, make sure an adult is supervising.

Use a towel and balloons filled with water to make fun memories in the sun. Idea from Love Play Learn. Add to the fun by setting up a badminton net and playing water balloon towel volleyball!

Make your own version of this water balloon hunt as seen here on Mess for Less.

Use your imagination to create a river using materials around the house and make a boat race. Here's an idea from Reading Confetti that uses tin foil to make a river and ice cubes boats to race.

You can use pool noodles from the dollar store to make your own marble water slides like on this site. What other kinds of water slides can you make?

More Water Fun Ideas:

  • Have a bunch of ping pong balls, bouncy pit balls, or even corks? Have a parent write letters on them with Sharpies and float them in your backyard pool for a game Who Can Spell it First? Have the adult that is watching you swim in the pool call out sight words or vocabulary words and then swim around to see who can find the letters to make the word first.
  • Don't feel like spelling. When you are marking the balls with letters, write a number on the back side of the ball. Now you can work on those math facts while staying cool in the pool!
  • Build a hopscotch coarse on you sidewalk or driveway and then use wet sponges instead of rocks to find your next move. Keep a bucket of water handy to refill your sponges.
  • Want more water balloon fun! Have an adult or older sibling fill up large balloons with water and tie them in a tree for a game of water balloon pinatas.
  • How about a game of Hide-and-Seek with water balloons added? Instead of being tagged, they get wet. That would cool them off!
