15 Water Games for Summer Parties Everyone Will Want to Play

When the temperature climbs, nothing keeps a party going like water games. The best summer gatherings mix simple, splash-everyone classics with a few big water attractions that turn a backyard or event into the place to be. Here are 15 water games for summer parties, from easy DIY favorites to rentable attractions that steal the show.

Classic Water Games You Can Set Up Yourself

1. Water balloon toss. Partners step back after every catch until only one soggy team remains.
2. Sponge relay race. Teams race to soak a sponge and wring it into a bucket, and the fullest bucket wins.
3. Duck, duck, splash. The classic game with a wet twist, using a cup of water instead of a tag.
4. Sprinkler freeze tag. Play freeze tag through a running sprinkler for guaranteed laughs.
5. Water limbo. Swap the limbo stick for a stream of water from a hose. How low can you go?
6. Bucket brigade relay. Teams pass water down a line to fill a container, losing as little as possible along the way.
7. Water gun tag. Arm everyone with water blasters for a fast, refreshing free-for-all.

 

Rentable Water Attractions That Steal the Show

11. A giant water slide. The Drop Out Water Slide is a massive triple-lane slide built to keep big crowds cool.
