Water Park Party Games:
1. Blind Man’s Bacon.
This game is the variation of 'Steal The Bacon.' Divide the players into two teams and ask them to form a circle half on one side, half on the other and put two squirt guns in the center of the circle. When a number is called, the corresponding player for each team need to put on a blindfold. At a signal, the two blindfolded players move to the center right to the location of squirt gun. The main aim of the game is to reach the squirt gun and squirt the other guy before he came make it back behind the protection of his team. It is allowed to shout the instructions to the blindfolded players.
2. Water Balloon Toss.
The two teams should gather into straight lines in front of each other on the distance of about 2 yards apart. The players standing in the first line should toss a water balloon to opposite players in the second line. If a player bursts a ballon he is out. After each balloon bursts, a new balloon is brought into play. Here both lines should take one step backward and toss again. This game should be repeated until only one pair of players remaines.
3. Water Balloon Race.
Divide four or more players into two teams. On the word "go," the first player on each team with a water balloon under his chin should race to the end of the course and back. As soon as he gets back he needs to pass the water balloon to the next player without using his hands. If the balloon breaks, the player should get a new ballon and start over. The first team which finishes is the winner.
Party Menu: Sailor-Worthy Snacks
Give the preference to healthy snacks instead of the normal water-park fare of grease-soaked pizza and funnel cakes. To add the water park flair to your backyard party you can buy popcorn machines, however popcorn should be without the usual butter and salt overdose you’d expect at an amusement park. Popcorn machines make easy, healthy snacks, and you can use them event after event at any other party like neighborhood block party, family reunion, church gathering or birthday party.
You can also include in the menu fun, water-themed snacks like the Sail Boat Snack.
Young guests will have a lot of fun creating coral reefs out of Cheetos and Cheese Whiz, or making octopi from marshmallows and peeled licorice sticks.
You can also ask the kids to make individual beach scenes in bowls. Mix vanilla pudding with blue food coloring and add crushed vanilla wafers on one half which will look like a sand. To add personality, put a tiny umbrella and gummy fish.
Memories that Will Last a Lifetime
Don't forget to take the pictures of the children with their masterpieces. You can make great party favors with a digital camera, a printer and some inexpensive blue frames.
