Water Balloon Parachute
1. Have a big parachute and a bunch of water balloons prepared.
2. Put the water balloons on top of the parachute.
3. Each participant will hold a side to the parachute.
4. On the count of the 3, they will lift the parachute in the air so the water balloons fly in the air as well.
5. Participants are trying to get the water balloons away from them and towards other participants.
6. Have a few participants stand on the outside of the parachute, and they try to catch any water balloons that are hit off the parachute.
7. Make teams, and each participant on the outside is part of a different team. Every time they catch a water balloon, their team gets a point.

4. The leader will be the pitcher.
5. One team will bat at a time.
6. Each participant will get 2-3 water balloons thrown to them.
7. If they hit and pop both, then they get a double and run to the second base.
8. If they hit one balloon, they run to first base.
9. If the first participant gets to second base and the next participant on their team gets a double, then the first participant runs home.
10. After all of the participants have gone up to bat, then the next team goes.
11. Play so each group gets the same amount of turns.

Toss and Catch: Have participants get into groups and have two or more water balloons being thrown at the same time.
Parachute: Have water balloons and balls on the parachute. Participants try to knock off the balls or balloons, depending on the task and if there are teams.
Baseball: Participants are on two teams. Every time a participant misses a water balloon, it could be an out.
