Happy Friday to you.
Every Friday we hope to post a way for you to have fun without spending a ton of money.
Todays fun tip is all about water and capturing the flag.
Things you’ll need…
1. 2 wading pools (the cheap ones) you can find these for $6 or less at your local big retailer.
2. Water balloons or squirt guns or both. Again these you can find for less than 10 bucks - take a trip to the dollar store and just get the cheap water guns.
3. The ‘flag’ (2) - this can be an old mop / broom etc.
Choose sides.
Get on opposite sides of the yard (or better yet your house).
Fill up the weapons and the pools. Each side places there pool somewhere within their ‘territory’.
One person must always be holding the flag and in the pool. This person can use water balloons or water guns but must stay in the pool and hold the flag with their ‘good’ hand. (If they’re a righty, in their right hand, lefty they must hold it with their left)
Try to capture the other flag. If you get hit with water .. you are out and must stop, freeze in place and count to 20 (slowly).
If the flag guardian gets hit they must drop the flag.
The person that captures a flag cannot run (they must walk slowly) and cannot fire a weapon.
The first team with both flags in their pool wins.
You can play this game with 4 people but the more people you have the more interesting it is. If you have an odd person then let that person be the referee and they get to kick someone off the loosing team and join them for the next game.
We hope you have a wonderful day!
