Water Games Kids Party

Kids love to play in the water. Having a party all about water is a great summer activity. This party idea could also be used for a birthday as well as an anytime party idea.

Water Kids Party Games

Play all kinds of water games at the party.

You could play Water Softball, Water Dodgeball, or Water Balloon Volleyball

You could also play some squirtgun games from the squirt gun party.

You could also just have a lot of water balloon to throw at each other for a water balloon fight.

Water Over The Shoulder Kids Game

Split your group of kids into two groups. Have the children line up in two lines.

Each line has two ice cream buckets. One at the front of the line which is filled water. The other at the back of the line behind the last person.

Each child has a cup that they stick on the shoulder of the child in front of them.

When the teams are told to begin, the child in the front of the line dips their cup into the water in front of them, then pours it into the cup on their shoulder of the child behind them.

Each child continues to pour their cup of water behind them into the child behind thems cup.

The last child pours their water over their shoulder into their ice cream bucket.

When the children are told to stop, the team with the most water in their bucket is the winner.

Water Party Snack Idea

Make Snow Cones for a snack. They are just a different form of water, frozen water, so they'll work great on a hot day for a water party.

Get a bag of ice from your local store or make your own.

If you do not have a snow cone machine use your food processor or blender to chop up the ice.

Make up some kool-aid and pour a little onto the ice after you've put it into a small cup for each child. Make sure it's just enough kool-aid to change the ice colors, so that you don't melt it all.

Water Party Cake Idea


I used a 9 x 13 cake pan to make the cake in. After it was cool, I took it out of the pan.

I colored frosting blue. I tried to make a swirl to the frosting so that it looked like water.

For the little island I used crunched up grahm crackers.

I put gold fish crackers in the water for fish.

I used honey grahms teddy bears for my little people on the island and swimming in the water. A couple of the teddy bears I cut in half and glued them with iceing onto white lifesavers.
One teddy is floating on the water on a string licorice life raft.

The palm trees I made by using a gum drop and rolling it out with a rolling pin to make it flat. I then cut out the shape with a knife and then just pressed it onto a pretzle stick.

The coconut on the island is just a junior mint.
It's a fun cake idea for a water party.

A plain old water fight at the end is great too. Have buckets and hoses and squirt guns and just have a great time.

Shadow Puppet Show Kids Activity

Either make up a story, or use a storybook that you have to tell a story.

While telling the story hold the toy up in front of the flash light while you are under the table, so the kids can see the shadow of the toy from the other side.

Let the children experiment with the shadows to see how they change when you hold the object close to the flash light or far away from it.

After the child has gone all the way around the circle, the person in the middle says button button who's got the button.

Everyone gets to guess who may have the button. Whomever guesses who has the button is then the child in the middle and gets to start the game over again.
