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?

 

 

Game: Circle Squirt

Joeys seated in circle. One Joey has an old detergent bottle filled with water. The game is played like drop the hanky. Joeys skip around the circle and drop the bottle behind someone. They have to run around the circle and back to the place of the person they dropped the bottle behind whilst that child tries to squirt them with the water from the bottle.

 

 

 

Craft


Foam Cup Bubble Blowers
Joeys punch a hole in the bottom of a foam cup using a skewer. Add a piece of chux to the rim of the cup and hold in place with an elastic band. Joeys dip the chux end into bubble blowing mix which has food colouring added and BLOW through the hole – ensure they don’t suck. Take a print of the foam trail.
 

Science With Water
Floating and Sinking. Joeys suggest which objects will sink and float and try out to confirm.
