Water Balloon Games
Water Balloon games are perfect for summer time fun
Regular latex balloons can be filled with water and used for these games but they are thin walled and made to hold air. The latex balloons are more likely to break when you are trying to put water into them.
The best balloons for these water games are ones that are made especially to hold water.
The water holding balloons are thicker walled and much smaller in size.
They are easy to find in stores during the summer months.

Balloon Pop Race
Split into two teams with each person having a balloon. On "go" the first person in line runs to a plastic lawn chair and has to pop their balloon. They then run back to the next person in line who runs to the chair and pops their balloon.
Target Practice
Draw or hang a bullseye on a fence or other hard surface. Take turns trying to hit the center with a water balloon.
Hot Balloon
Fill a balloon with water. Stand a few feet from each other and toss the balloon back and forth. After every good catch or two take a step backwards so you are further and further apart.
Balloon Basketball
Set up a bucket in the center of the lawn. Divide into two teams. To make a basket each person on the team has to be tossed the balloon at least once before trying to place it into the basket.
Balloon Toss
Each person has a balloon filled to the brim with water. See who can toss the balloon the highest up into the air and catch it without it popping.
