Water Balloon Toss

Get ready for a splash of fun in our Water Balloon Toss contest! Players will team up in pairs and stand a few steps apart, facing each other. Each team gets one water balloon, and the goal is to toss it back and forth without letting it drop or pop. After each successful catch, meaning the balloon is thrown and caught by both teammates, all teams will take one big step backward, making each toss a little more challenging. If a team drops their balloon or it bursts, they’re out of the game. The last team with their balloon unpopped wins!

With just one toss per object, every shot counts! The game is split into three age groups to keep things fair, and three awesome prize packs will be awarded to the top scorers of each group.

Line Of Command

Attention!!! In this quick-reflex elimination game, players stand facing a rope on the ground, one side labeled One and the other labeled Two. A military member will be designated as the commander and will call out one of the numbers at random. The players must immediately jump into the correct line, or they are out. If they jump into the wrong line, hesitate, or are too slow, they lose.

You’ll bend down like a chicken and balance a cone on your back, and waddle your way to the line. Once you touch the line, carefully waddle back to your team without dropping the cone, or you will have to go back! The first team to have all their chickens complete the race wins!

Players switch each round – the team with the most points wins!
