Water Balloon Games for Adults

Water balloon games are the perfect way to have fun in a group, especially during summers! And who says they are meant only for kids. Adults too can engage in them and rediscover the hidden child within! Given below are some fun water balloon games which can be played at parties, picnics or even office outings!

Fun Water Balloon Games for Adults

Balloon Catches
Divide the adults into two teams and have them stand in a row. The participants in each team should stand about one foot away from each other. Keep one empty bucket at the end of the row and one bucket full of water balloons in the beginning of the row. The rules of the game are that as soon as the whistle goes, the first one in the row has to pick up a water balloon from the bucket and throw it towards the team member standing next to him, who on his part has to catch the balloon and throw it to the third one in the row. Likewise the water balloon is caught and thrown by team members and finally put into the empty bucket at the end of the row. The team which is able to fill maximum number of intact water balloons in the empty bucket in two minutes is the winner. The balloons which fall on the ground or break are not to be counted in the final tally.

Balloon Tosses
Another fun outdoor game for adults is to first divide them into pairs of two, have them stand one step away from each other and as soon as you signal, they have to toss a water balloon back and forth at one another. When you signal the second time, the players have to take a step back, away from each other and continue with the balloon tossing. If the balloon breaks or falls, the pair is out of the game. Likewise the game continues, with the players moving farther away from each other whenever you signal. The pair which remains till the end, with their balloon intact, is the winner!

Balloon Battles
This is one of the most fun water games for adults. Divide the adults into two teams with equal number of participants in each and assign a team leader. Give each of the participants eye goggles to wear. Next, make one of the teams stand in a circle, while the other team stands out. The participants of the team standing in a circle have one water balloon each. As soon as the whistle goes, one member of the team standing out comes inside the circle. The team in the circle has to try to hit this other team member with a water balloon. So, the team leader starts the game by trying to hit the other team's member. The other team's member has to dodge the water balloon. If the team leader misses the aim, the one standing next to him tries to hit the other team's member. Likewise the game continues in quick succession. Once he is hit, the next one in his team enters the circle. The game goes on till the team members run out of water balloons. The team which is able to hit maximum number of other team's participants is the winner of this outdoor team game for adults!

Balloon Songs
Have all the invitees to the party stand in a circle. Next, give one of them a water balloon and ask them to throw at anyone in the circle. The other person has to catch the balloon. After catching, he has to immediately throw the balloon at some other person in the circle. Likewise, the water balloon is thrown and caught, till it falls on the ground and breaks. At this point, the one in whose hands the water balloon broke, has to sing a song, only then he will be given a water balloon to continue the game! Continue with this game at the party as long as it is fun. After this game, as a clean-up activity, give each of the participants a bucket and say that whosoever collects the maximum number of balloon pieces wins a prize. With this game, you won't have to worry about keeping the party venue clean!

Aren't these games simply irresistible? So, plan them with a group of adults, the next time you have a get together and see them getting all charged up, cheery and uncontrollable like kids!
