Play Splashy Tag Pool Game

In the summer, days can get so hot that your child just wants to spray himself with the hose. Well, now he can! Splashy Tag is a very wet version of musical chairs, only instead of music you use a hose and instead of chairs you use a pool! Use the hose to spontaneously "tag" players one by one. Players that have been tagged jump into the pool until only one player remains as the winner. It's the perfect way to cool off in the hot summer months.

What You Need:

• Garden hose
• At least three kids in a pool
• An older child or adult

What to Do:

1. Players sit in a line on the edge of the pool.
2. An adult or older child assumes responsibility for turning on and off the garden hose; this person is also the leader. This person must have his back towards the players so nobody will know who will get sprayed!
3. At the leader's signal, players must pass the hose from player to player. Remind players (especially young ones) not to aim the hose at their faces, but instead at their stomachs or chest.
4. The leader turns the hose on and off at random intervals. The player who gets sprayed with the water is eliminated from the game and has to jump into the pool! The winner is the last player left.
