Twins

All players are paired off and form a large circle with partners joining hands. One set of players is chosen as “it” and are the runners.

The first pair back to the vacated spot gets to keep the spot, and the other pair becomes “it”. Caution set up rules for passing so that no one gets hurt.

Category: Circle/Water Games |

All players sit or stand in a circle. Pick a person to be it. They are to go around the circle like Duck, Duck, Goose but they say " Duck, Duck, Squirt". They then squirt a player and the chase begins. The "squirter" is to run around the circle and back to players position without getting tagged by the person that was squirted.
|
Shaving Cream Shoot Off
Required: Water guns, shaving cream, water source, hot day, and clothes to get wet in
Players: Small to large groups
Category: Water Games |
|
Set up as many teams as you would like to have. Each team must have one large water gun filled with water and one team member willing
to get wet. Make sure that all the designated targets don't have a shirt that has an iron-on design on the front, this prevents the game from being far. On the
willing team member, squirt shaving cream on the front of their shirt. If you do the same design, it makes the amount of shaving cream the same for all teams.
Each member of the team will get one squirt from the water gun to try and remove the shaving cream. You will rotate the team line until all the shaving cream
is removed. The first team to remove the cream is the cream of the crop or in other words, "The Winners".
