Kids’ Birthday Party Ideas: A Wet and Wild Water Obstacle Course

Remember how I told you about how we’re planning a water-themed birthday party in our backyard? Well my son came up with a great idea for a game. A wet and wild obstacle course. Friends will jump over the sprinkler, slide down the water slide, sit on some water balloons, and shoot balls with water guns. The kids are only six, so they’ll all be winners and earn prizes. I thought this was a great idea for a six year old. The party will be in mid-June and we’re really praying for great weather that day. It can go either way, we’ve had torrential downpours and temps of 90 some-odd degrees. All we ask for is a nice, sunny day.

Sounds like fun on a hot summer day. We did something similar last summer at my nephews birthday party. We set up slip and slides, and they had a “Tiki” volcano that would build up with water then “erupt” water all over everyone. The kids loved it.
Water balloons equals fun. Any day.
Who knows, maybe it will make it even more interesting if it rains… Or not. Hope it worked out!
