For a fun twist on a classic carnival game, set up a water cup race where kids use water guns to move cups along a string between two trees.
Water balloon piñatas and water balloon baseball are perfect for a splashing good time. Kiddie pool kickball and water balloon kickball are great ways to keep kids active and cool during the summer.
