When I was a kid our entire summer was spent playing outside. We had a blast doing something as simple as running through the sprinkler on a hot summer afternoon. Outdoor games that got us wet and cooled off were a must in Florida.

Here we are only a couple of weeks into summer break, and I find myself struggling to get my 9-year old excited to do much anything than play on her tablet or game system. I decided to get back to basics and come up with something fun we could do together and cool off at the same time. With a few pool noodles, some packing tape, and balloons, we made a super fun pool noodle water balloon ring toss game.
Pool Noodle Water Balloon Ring Toss Game
Supplies you’ll need:
water ballons
pool noodles
heavy duty tape, such as packing tape or Duct tape
Shape the pool noodles into circles and secure the ends by wrapping with tape. Lay balloons flat in a straight line or whatever configuration you like. Fill balloons with water, and toss into the rings. If you’re feeling competitive, you can even assign a point value for each ring, and keep a tally.
When you are finished playing, carefully remove the tape from your pool noodles.
My little girl and I had an absolute blast playing this water balloon ring toss game together. Towards the end we ‘might’ have intentionally got each other wet. More her than me! Many thanks to Relay by Republic Wireless for encouraging me to get outside and have some family fun this summer. Relay encourages kids to get outside and have bold adventures – without worry.
Relay is a nationwide cell phone alternative that’s as simple to use as a walkie talkie and it works everywhere. The device has 4G LTE coverage that allows parents and kids to stay in touch without the worry of a smartphone or screen, so you can have peace of mind while your kids go play and have and have adventures.
I really like Relay as an alternative for kids who are not ready to have their own smartphone. There is no phone number so the child is only able to communicate with people that you approve. The device is activated through a companion app on the parent’s phone, which controls their settings and includes GPS tracking. Learn more about Relay by Republic Wireless.

That looks like the perfect game for summer, especially down here in Georgia. When it gets really hot, we find any and all water-related activities that we can.
What a fun game to play outside with the kids.I love being able to use things we already have around the house too!
Oh how I love this idea! I’m always looking for fun ideas for summer – especially ones that can help you cool off a bit too!
This is a great summer game. I think kids like using water balloons but they don’t always like having them thrown at them.
It looks like a great game! Such a fun summer activity!
This looks like the perfect summer party game! I think kids will really find this fun to try.
What a fun game. My kiddies would go nuts for this! The perfect summer game!
Y’all look like you’re having a blast! I love the look on your face!
Fun! This would also be a great game for us to play when we are out camping. The kids would love it.
Perfect summer game! I’m looking for games to entertain my daughter and the neighborhood kids! Thank you for sharing!
