Game: Jump Splash
 Use a 10 foot piece of rope. Give each player a cup filled with water. Each player must take a turn by jumping the rope while holding their cup of water. After everyone has had a turn, see who has the most water left.

Game: Toss the Water Balloon
Joeys arm themselves with as many water balloons as they can and with a partner toss one to and fro as many times as they can without breaking it. How many times can they toss it?

Craft Rain Gauge

Children make a rain gauge out of a plastic cup with a small pebble to weigh it down. Mark the side and bring back next week along with water use charts to compare.

Story

The Water Hole by Graham Base

Game The Exterminator

This is an outdoor party game, especially great for a hot day. Set off a game area and spread several beach towels on the ground in various locations. These are the anthills. One child is designated the "Exterminator" and is armed with a spray bottle of water. The other guests are ants. The Exterminator must get rid of the ants by spraying them with his bottle of insecticide.

When a player is sprayed, they must lay on the ground with arms and legs in the air - like a dead bug! The other players rescue the dead ants and bring them back to life by taking them back to one of the anthills. (While an ant rescue is taking place, the Exterminator cannot spray any of the rescuers.) Once placed on an anthill, the dead ants come back to life and can rejoin the game. This game can go on for quite awhile!
