Especially on really hot days, water is essential for outdoor fun. But honestly, kids love playing with water no matter the temperature. We\u2019re here to help with a few great water game ideas for outside. These water games are quick to set up and sure to be a hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>For all outdoor water games, keep in mind:<\/strong><br>Don\u2019t forget to apply sunscreen to your kids! It&#8217;s recommended to reapply every 90 minutes and to use at least SPF 30. In strong sun, a hat or cap is also a must. If it\u2019s extremely hot, set up the games in the shade whenever possible. Water play increases the risk of sunburn.<br>Always supervise your kids, even if they have a swimming certificate! Accidents can happen in an instant, even in just a few centimetres of water.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"blue-banner\">\n    <div>\n        <h3>Sitly connects parents and babysitters<\/h3>\n        <p>Find the right babysitter or the perfect babysitting job near you.\r\nRegister for free!<\/p>\n        <div class=\"btns-wrapper d-flex\">\n                            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.babysitter-sitly.pt\/en\/babysitter\" class=\"site-btn\">Find a babysitter<\/a>\n                                        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.babysitter-sitly.pt\/en\/babysitter-jobs\" class=\"site-btn transparent-purple\">Babysitting Jobs<\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Make Your Own Water Slide<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a tarp, soap, and water, you can easily create a backyard water slide. It\u2019s even more fun if you have a small slope, but a flat lawn will work as well. It\u2019s best to do this on grass, not on hard surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What you need:<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong> A tarp<br>A garden hose<br>Shampoo or liquid soap<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to set it up:<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong> Spread the tarp out over the grass. You can secure it with tent pegs. Spread soap and water evenly over the tarp. Be careful\u2014while the goal is to make it slippery, it can be dangerous while setting it up. The most fun setup includes a sprinkler spraying over the tarp continuously\u2026 and let the games begin! Can you stay on your feet, or will you use it as a slip-and-slide?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"747\" height=\"462\" src=\"https:\/\/www.babysitter-sitly.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2026\/01\/water-games.webp\" alt=\"A young boy laughing and sliding down a wet slip-and-slide on a sunny day.\" class=\"wp-image-4739\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.babysitter-sitly.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2026\/01\/water-games.webp 747w, https:\/\/www.babysitter-sitly.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2026\/01\/water-games-300x186.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 747px) 100vw, 747px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Water Balloon Pi\u00f1ata<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Water balloons are always a hit. In the image above, you see a water balloon pi\u00f1ata. Kids take turns trying to hit and burst the balloons. For extra fun, you can put surprises inside the balloons, like candy or a mini popsicle. Or challenge the kids to hit the balloons while blindfolded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What you need:<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong> Balloons (standard ones work best)<br>Strong string or ribbon<br>A long stick<br>Water<br>A place to hang the balloons<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to set it up:<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong> Fill as many water balloons as you can ahead of time and store them in a laundry basket. Tie strings around them and hang about six from a clothesline or similar spot. They\u2019ll be heavy, so choose a sturdy place! Then it\u2019s time for each child to take turns smashing them with a stick.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"747\" height=\"456\" src=\"https:\/\/www.babysitter-sitly.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2026\/01\/water-games-water-baloons-pinata.webp\" alt=\"Colorful water balloons hanging from strings outdoors, with decorative snowflake shapes in the background against green hedges.\" class=\"wp-image-4726\" style=\"width:747px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.babysitter-sitly.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2026\/01\/water-games-water-baloons-pinata.webp 747w, https:\/\/www.babysitter-sitly.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2026\/01\/water-games-water-baloons-pinata-300x183.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 747px) 100vw, 747px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. High Jumping &amp; Limbo Dancing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A high jump competition over a water stream is simple, exciting, and easy to set up! Place a hose on a stool and see who can jump over the water spray. For younger kids, lower the stream and have them crawl or scoot underneath it. Also fun: limbo dancing under the water stream! Great for kids and even fun for adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What you need:<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong> A garden hose<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.babysitter-sitly.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2026\/01\/water-games-gardne-hose.webp\" alt=\"garden hose\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Make Colourful Water<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tired of the same old water? Add colour and make it fun again. These coloured water tablets are originally for the bath, but they work great in kiddie pools, as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What you need:<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong> Inflatable kiddie pool<br>Colour tablets for water<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to set it up:<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong> Super easy! Just drop a tablet into the pool and the water changes colour. You can even mix the colours for a learning experience. These tablets are available online at Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.babysitter-sitly.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2026\/01\/water-games-colored-water.webp\" alt=\"colored water\" class=\"wp-image-4636\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Trike Car Wash<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ride your trike or toy tractor through a splashy car wash\u2014cool and super fun! You can even ride your bike through it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What you need:<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong> Large sponges<br>A garden hose or sprinkler (or both)<br>A frame to hang everything from (like a climbing frame or swing set)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to set it up:<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong> Soak the sponges and hang them from the frame. Ideally, water should spray from both sides, so use two hoses or a sprinkler if possible. Leave enough space for kids to ride through with their trike or bike. For extra fun, add strips of cloth hanging down, just like a real car wash.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.babysitter-sitly.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2026\/01\/water-games-tricicle-wash.webp\" alt=\"trycicle wash\" class=\"wp-image-4638\" style=\"width:561px;height:auto\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Pouring Water into Containers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Short on time or not in the mood to participate? No problem. Little kids love pouring water from one container to another. Grab some storage tubs, watering cans, or measuring cups, and they\u2019ll be busy for ages. It\u2019s even educational\u2014what holds more? What holds less? How does the same amount look in different containers? What floats and what sinks?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And older kids? They\u2019ll love splashing water at each other. So water tubs are a win-win for all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What you need:<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong> Containers (food tubs, empty ice cream containers, buckets\u2014anything that holds water)<br>Water<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.babysitter-sitly.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2026\/01\/water-games-little-girl-pouring-water.webp\" alt=\"little girl pourin water into a bucket\" class=\"wp-image-4640\" style=\"width:573px;height:auto\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bonus: Water Bottle Soccer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another fun and easy game: water bottle soccer. Try to kick a soccer ball to knock over your opponents\u2019 bottles while protecting your own. If your bottle gets knocked over, you must retrieve the ball before setting your bottle back up. The player with the most water left at the end wins. Want to make it harder? Use multiple balls.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.babysitter-sitly.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2026\/01\/water-games-water-football.webp\" alt=\"water bottle soccer\" class=\"wp-image-4642\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not into bottle soccer? Turn it into bowling instead!
