WATER BALLOON VOLLEYBALL

Objective:

Throw and catch water balloons over a volley ball net using a big sheet or blanket.

Game Type:

Active. A lot of movement may be required.

Players:

6 or more players

Needed:

Bed Sheets, water balloons, volleyball net (optional)

Rules:

Split teams up with at least 4 people per team. Using two large bed sheets or blankets (one per team), have the teammates hold the sheet on corners, etc. Starting with one water balloon, launch the balloon over to the other team. The team must catch it in the blanket and not let it burst. If they are successful they get a point. As the other team launches the balloon back over to your team, have your teammates loosen up their grip on the sheet so the balloon doesn't bounce off. As the game goes on, add more balloons for competition.

Variation:

Divide teams into sub groups of two players and use beach towels instead of sheets. Teams can start with 10 points and each time a balloon breaks they get a point taken away.
