Water games with sponges

Safe Śmigus-Dyngus (Wet Monday) outdoors: sponge relays and pouring water at a target.

Steps

1. A short conversation about the Śmigus-Dyngus custom and that we only splash those who want to play.
2. Outside, you set up a bowl of water for each team and an empty bottle at the finish line.
3. Children soak a sponge, run, and squeeze the water into the bottle.
4. The team that first fills the bottle to the marked line wins.
5. Finally, a game of aiming water from squirt bottles at paper targets.

Tip: This game is also great in June for Children's Day when it's warm.

Materials needed

• Kitchen sponges (1 pack)
• Water spray bottle (1 per team)
