![]() Either way it looks like they had a blast! They played in an open field with slightly different rules, such as you just drop the flag if you’re hit, rather than being out. Here’s a cool video of a group playing water balloon capture the flag to give you an idea of what it looks like. We’ve used cardboard before, but after it gets wet, the cardboard is not a very helpful shield. Tote lids or metal pizza pans make good shields, anything will work though. Variations:Īllow shields to protect from water balloons, and getting out, to make this game more interesting. We use these when we play Combat Archery Tag also, so they were definitely a good buy for us. You could use some Inflatable Obstacles found on Amazon for pretty cheap. But if you’re going to be playing barefoot, you won’t want to be running around through the woods, an open grassy area would work better. Natural obstacles would be nice, like an area with bushes and trees. This game is best played in an area with obstacles. This is the funnest part of capture the flag, and it teaches kids to work as a team. Maybe it’s best to split into groups and flank the enemy. ![]() For example, two players will guard their teams flag, and the rest will ambush the enemy base and capture their flag. The most successful teams assign roles to their players. The team that brings the enemy flag back to their own base wins the game.If you are hit with a water balloon, you are out.Flags can be bright colored shirts or cloth.Each team gets a flag and a bucket of water balloons.Set a base for each team that will hold their flag.You will need a lot of water balloons if you play this game, because it never ends with just one round, everyone wants a rematch. But with water balloons, it’s a fun way to cool down on a hot day. A lot of people play this with nerf guns or in a laser tag arena. You can see as they move further apart, how much harder it gets.Įveryone loves a game of capture the flag. Here’s a fun video of a large group of people playing water balloon toss. You will pop a balloon a lot sooner though, because each player needs to toss at the same time for this work. The tosser is also the catcher, and both balloons must be caught to take a step back. When the balloon is tossed around to each player and back to the original person, everyone takes a step back.Īnother variation is to have each player toss a water balloon. Try this with more than two people, three create a triangle, four people, create a square. The team that ends the farthest apart wins.Continue tossing and taking a step back until the water balloon pops.If both people catch the balloon without it braking, they both take one step backwards.If the the other person catches it, they throw it back to the original person. ![]()
