Description

Leaders/young people throw water bombs for patrols to catch.

Resources

filled water bombs

Instructions

Set a base line where waterbombs (wb) will be thrown from.
Patrols send a member to catch a wb from 10 feet away. If scout drops wb or it bursts then a new patrol member comes out to try and catch a wb.
When patrol has successfully caught a wb then move catching distance to 15 feet, then 20 feet and so on.
Make sure a different scout comes out every time so that they all get to play. Best to have patrols stand in line and departing catcher goes to back of line for switchover.
Patrol who can catch a wb from furthest distance without it bursting are the winners.
If more than 1 leader throwing wb then make sure they are all throwing the same way so all patrols have an equal chance, suggest underarm to begin with.

Alternatively, split the group into pairs and form two lines about 1m apart, with one line holding the balloons. Everyone throws to their partner, and then steps one step back. This repeats to see which pair can keep going the longest.
