Water balloons are so much fun and perfect for Summer! Try out these super fun Water Balloons Games and Activities with Kids!

Water Balloons Games with Kids

  • Obstacle Course  – Designate an area for the obstacle course and lay water balloons randomly all over the ground.  Kids line up on one side and try to run from one side to the other without stepping on and breaking any balloons.  Make area smaller and move balloons closer together, and try again.  Keep decreasing the obstacle course area until the entire area is almost completely filled with balloons!
  • Water Balloon Piñata – Fill water balloons and hang them for some serious fun!
