The other day I was trying to think of a new game to play that involved water balloons. I then thought what if you take a 2 teams, 2 bats, and some water balloons and see how many water balloons each team could hit? You could have a girls team and a boy team consisting of at least 2 players. There would be 1 batter and 1 pitcher. Give each team about 30 – 40 seconds to see how many water balloons they could hit in that amount of time. You could involve more players by adding more pitchers to each team. The pitchers would just take turns pitching. The Sun Flower team tried it out this week and said it was a hit. Give it a whirl before the weather changes.
This just a funny inside note: When I came up with this idea, I thought it was unique and original until I began searching online and found out people were already doing it. The game is called water balloon baseball. It seems that all my life, when I’ve thought I’ve come up with a great invention or some idea that would change the world, someone came up with the idea before I did. One day I will get my big break. LOL
