10 summer games for a baby

Not all of us are lucky enough to have a swimming pool or a beach nearby in the summer months, however, the heat does not save us. For this reason, we offer you 10 water games that you can play in any garden or park when the temperature rises so that children can cool off and have fun at the same time. Great ideas to liven up our summer parties.

1. The flying balloons

For this game, we would only need some balloons and want to have a great time. What we have to do is fill the balloons with water and pass it between the children, preventing it from falling to the ground. The moment it breaks, we’ll get wet and be super cool. To add difficulty to the game, you can enter two or more balloons in the circle.

2. Summer piñata

Accustomed to piñatas, today we want to propose one of the most refreshing. For this we will need candy wrappers and small toys that we can put in a large balloon. We will need quite a few balloons, some containing surprise and water and the rest containing only water. We will put them all on a rope like when we wear clothes … and to be surprised, we will have to get wet!

3. Water bottle relay

We will need to make two or more teams. Each team will need two buckets of water and a plastic bottle. We put the children in two rows, with a bucket full of water. At a reasonable distance, we will place the second cube that will be empty. The game consists of the children filling the bottle, carrying it on their heads to the second bucket and filling it. Each child should do this step until the second bucket is full. The one who previously filled the second cube will win. You have to be very careful not to throw the bottle down the road!

Four. Water handkerchief

This is the classic tissue game but with a much cooler variant. We will have to make two teams. In the middle, instead of a handkerchief, there will be a bucket with water balloons. Upon hearing their number, the participants must approach the cube to take a balloon and try to deliver it to their partner on the opposing team. Add points to the son of the opposing team. You have to be very fast!

5. Color with ice

This game is very fun and creative. To do this, you must prepare in advance some colored ice, for this you put water and tempera in a bucket. When the ice is made, we will use a continuous roll of paper and paint with the colored ice. We will have a completely frozen image!

6. Feet in the water

For this game we will need 2 large sponges and 4 buckets of water. We will divide the children into two teams, they must line up on their backs, with their knees bent and the soles of their feet on the ground. The feet of the back will touch our head. The game consists of the first in line to take the sponge from the bucket with their feet and pass it to their partner at their feet. In this way the water will drip all over our body and we will be much fresher. It is important to hurry as the first team to take the sponge to the other end will win.

7. Sliding table

For this game we will need a thick plastic (like a pool of water) and a fairly long one. We will place it on the ground with a little soap and water, it will become a very slippery board. We can dance on it or make ourselves slide carefully. We’re going to hit each other but it’s a lot of fun!

8. Hunting cups

In a bowl or large container filled with water we put some plastic cups, which are a little heavy. With a fishing rod we can do it with a stick, a rope and a clip we will have to hunt the cups. This game has many variables because instead of cups we can put any toy that is easy to hold with the clip.

9. Water shoes

To play this game, children must wear shoes that can get wet. We must put a basin full of water. We will place the children about five meters from the tub and their backs to him must throw the shoe. When all the children have cast the shoe, the game is over. It can be proposed as a two-team competition with the fastest team winning.

10. Sponge game

Each child will need to have a bucket and a sponge. The sponge will be immersed in water and thrown into the air for the other members to collect. When flying loaded with water, the sponge will splash a lot and we will enjoy a shower that will refresh us in the most fun way.
