Fun Summer Game

Water-Balloon Baseball
When the ball's full of water, every hit makes a splash.
From Better Homes and Gardens Magazine





What You Need:
Batter's all wet!
Water balloons; make a lot before the game begins so there's not a break in the action
Baseball bat or whiffle-ball bat
Enough outdoor space for setting up the playing field


Instructions:
1. Divide players into two teams and take turns batting and fielding as usual. Rather than calling strikes, you may want to change batters after a certain number of swings, and switch places whenever all the players on the at-bat team have had a turn at the plate.
2. Give each team a point for every balloon they break.
3. The outfielders won't have much to field, but they can try to tag the runners before they get to base.

I thought this game looked like a BLAST! We will definitely be trying it this summer!
