Wet Minute to Win It Game: Raindrops

For this game, you will need a sprinkler, a cup or bucket of some kind and a ruler.

To play Raindrops, first set up the sprinkler. On a player’s turn, they have one minute to see how much water they can gather from the sprinkler. Use the ruler to measure. The player who collects the most wins.

You can shop for fun sprinklers here; Canadians can shop here.

Wet and Wild Game: Balloon Pop

For this Wet minute to win it game, you will need lots of water balloons filled. We love these easy to fill balloons (really how did people mange before?)

To play, players need to break the balloons using parts of their bodies. The player who breaks the most in a minute is the winner.

Alternative: You can play this game by hanging the balloons on a rope and having the players break them using a baseball bat. Again, the player who breaks the most in a minute wins the game.

You can shop for water balloons here–I highly recommend the bunch ones that fill super fast and easy. They also have reusable water balloons; a great idea. Canadians can shop here.

Water Minute to Win It Game: Sponge Race

For this water game, you will need a large sponge, a full bucket of water, an empty cup or bucket and a ruler.

To set up the game, place the two buckets a couple feet apart. Next, players will have one minute to dunk the sponge in water and then carry it to the empty bucket to squeeze it out. They can make as many trips as they can in the minute. Use the ruler to measure who has moved the most water to find the winner.

You can get some sponges here. Canadians can get theirs here.

Wet Minute to Win It Game: Pass the Ship

For this game you will need a few cups filled to the top with water and a ping pong ball.

To set up Pass the Ship, first put the cups together in a line, as close as possible. Next, make sure that the cups are filled to the top with water.

To play, a player will set the ping pong ball in the first cup then blow the ball into the next cup. When they reach the end of the line of cups and the minute is not up yet, have them blow the ball backwards. Keep track of how many cups the ball moved through in the minute.

Before the next player starts, make sure to top up the water in the cups.

The winner is the player who moved the ball through the most cups in a minute.

Ping pong balls have endless hours of fun in there, you can get yours here; Canadians here. I like the multi-coloured ones.

Wet and Wild Game: Hose Dodge

For this wet minute to win it game, you will need a hose with a sprayer attachment and a fair player.

Start with the player in the middle of the lawn. Next, have the sprayer give a short blast of water. If the player doges, they get the point. If they get hit with the water they ear no points. The blasts of water should be short. The sprayer also can’t change the direction of the blast while spraying. The blasts should also be quick in coming so that there is lots of opportunity to dodge.

The player who can dodge the most blasts wins.

Water Minute to Win It Game: Sponge Catch

For Sponge Catch, you will need a bucket of water and a large sponge.

To play this minute to win it game, a player first starts by dunking the sponge into the bucket. When the minute starts, they pull the sponge out and then throw it into the air above them. They then have to catch it and throw it back up. Keep track of the number of times that the player catches the sponge.

The player who was able to toss and catch the sponge the most amount of times in a minute, wins the game.

Water Minute to Win It Game: Toe Fishing

For this game, you will need a kiddie pool (or large container) and an arrangement of sinky toys (or objects that sink).

At the beginning of each turn, place the toys on the bottom of the kiddie pool. Players then have one minute to fish as many toys as they can with their toes.

To win this water minute to win it game, you need to be the player who fishes out the most toys.

If you need some new sinky toys, you can see the assortment here; Canadians here.

Wet Minute to Win It Game: Shoot Out

For Shoot Out, you will need about ten empty cups or cans and a squirt gun.

To start, place the cups on a flat surface in a line and couple of inches apart. Next, players will have one minute to see how many cups they can shoot out with a squirt gun.

You can make this hard or easier by changing the distance that player have to shoot from.

The winner is the player who shoots down the most cups in a minute.

The winner is the player with the most amount of successful steps.
