How to Play the Water Balloon Toss Game

A water balloon toss is a fun and sometimes messy way to entertain a crowd. This game challenges each player's ability to throw and catch a fragile water balloon across a long distance. Since participants run the risk of getting wet during this game, a water balloon toss is best played outdoors in warm weather. All you need is a few balloons filled with water and a few teams of willing participants.

Things You'll Need

One water balloon per team

Instructions

- 1
  Fill enough water balloons to supply each team with one balloon. If you wish to play multiple rounds of this game, fill additional balloons.
- 2
  Split players into teams of two.
- 3
  Form two straight lines of players, with teammates facing each other.
- 4
  Have each player take one large step back from his teammate. This marks the first throw line.

- 6
  Have both players take one step backward after each successful toss.
- 7
  Continue this routine until every team has popped their balloons. The last team with an intact balloon wins.
