Things You'll Need
Balloons-at least one for every two people; extras are a good idea in case a balloon is defective
Pick a partner, preferably one that has nimble fingers since the water balloon toss requires being adept at catching flying objects. Give each pair of players one balloon.
2
Fill your balloon with water and tie it closed. Generally, the organizers of a water balloon toss will want the players to put as much water as possible into the balloons, since this makes it easier for the balloons to break.
3
Stand in a side-by-side line with half of the players. The other half of the players (including your partner) will form their own side-by-side line, facing your line.
4
Toss the water-filled balloon back and forth to your partner. The other players will be doing this at the same time. If your water balloon breaks, you and your partner are out.
5
Move the lines back as play progresses. The idea is for partners to have to throw the water balloon further and further to each other. The last pair with an unbroken water balloon wins.
Tips & Warnings
To make the game extra challenging, play on a solid surface such as asphalt. If you want to make it difficult, play on gravel. Balloons do not always burst if dropped on a soft surface such as grass.
Feel free to throw extra water balloons at the winning pair! Half the fun of this game is getting soaking wet.
Every summer, children make water balloons for target practice, pranks and games. Proper water balloons are thicker than traditional party balloons meant...
