To play this game, you will need a bucket full of water balloons, a large volleyball net, towels and two teams of players. Gather the supplies and head for a field or any open area that would allow loads of space for free movement. Make each team take their positions on the opposite sides of the net and hand out one towel to each of the teams. The players will have to hold the balloon on the towel and flip it over the net. The other team should catch the balloon on their towel and bounce it back. The team, which manages to score the balloon for the maximum number of times without dropping it on the ground, is the winner.
