Activity #21 "Horseshoes and Hand Grenades"

If you know how to play Horseshoes, and you know how water balloons work, then this will be a very simple game for you.  Divide up into two teams.  Players will take turns being the "stake" in the ground that the other team will throw their horseshoes at...only for this game we are going to use water balloons ("hand grenades") instead of horseshoes.  Choose which team will start by tossing and which will be tossed at.  When players were having the "grenades" tossed at them, we had them turn around so they wouldn't be able to see it coming and move out of the way.  Here is how players scored points:

-If player tossing the "grenade" hits the opposing player with the balloon and it bursts open on them, the team that tossed the "grenade" gets 3 points.
-If player tossing the "grenade" hits the opposing player but the balloon doesn't burst open, the team that tossed the "grenade" gets 2 points.
-If player tossing the "grenade" misses opposing player but the balloon splatters and gets the opposing player wet, the team that tossed the "grenade" gets 1 point.
-Nothing else scores.

Keep the distance far enough so as to make it a challenge, but close enough that people are actually getting wet...after all, isn't that really the point of water balloon games?

As always, add your own rules as you wish.  Let us know how it goes for your group, or send us questions or suggestions in the comments below.
