2007 Texas Reading Club Manual
Teens get into pairs, facing each other, with one holding a water balloon. They toss back
and forth, and take one step back after each toss. If a balloon is dropped and pops, that
pair is out of the game. If it falls to the ground and does not pop, the pair keeps playing.
The pair that keeps their water balloon from popping the longest wins.
Water Balloon Volleyball
Set up a volleyball net. Divide the teens into two teams and give each one a sheet. All of
the teens on each team hold onto their sheet. Place a water balloon on one sheet. The
teens must use teamwork to flip it over the net. The opposing team must catch it in their
sheet and then flip it back. Keep score! The first team to successfully volley ten water
balloons over the net wins.
