Oh, has it been hot this week! We’ve spent plenty of time in the creek, playing with mud, and jumping into the sprinkler to keep cool, but the boys needed something new to do. Water blaster games to the rescue!

The Best Water Blaster Games for Kids
We purchased our water blasters from the local dollar store. If you have a party-sized group of kids playing, you might want to check these out. The boys were so excited to begin playing water games!

Dot Blaster Wars
To play Dot Blaster Wars, simply dot washable paint onto each child using a brush like this. When someone loses their dots, they are out. The child remaining with the most dots wins!
Ping-Pong Ball Float
To play Ping-Pong Ball Float you will need water blasters, one ping-pong ball, a bucket, and a pitcher. In this cooperative game, the children must work together to fill the pitcher to “float” the ping-pong ball out of the pitcher and onto the ground.
It’s harder than it looks, but incredibly fun!
Bun Blasters
Though Bun Blasters may sound like a trendy new workout, this game is a wet, drippy, disgusting mess! To play, string stale hamburger buns in between trees. The player that blasts their bun off the line first is the winner!
This game was their favorite!
I had a lot of fun keeping the boys busy and cool with these games! Water blasters are definitely a summer must-have!

Haha! Of course the most disgusting activity was their favourite. Typical boys! 🙂 Love all of your innovative ideas here!

Thanks Jackie!

Great ideas! There are only so many times they can squirt at each other before they need something else to do with those water blasters! Will definitely be keeping these in mind.

It has been so hot this weekend my boys have spent hours with the hose pipe and water guns. I love the buns idea, this would make a great birthday party activity too. Popping over from the Outdoor play party.

I love these idea. We purchased aqua blasters for our grandkids and they loved them. I love that they actually use some muscle power with these, too! Pinning it to my fun & fitness board.

Thank you! I’m planning a small party for my son with “water play” games and these ideas are a lot of fun and inexpensive.
