How to Host a Water Park Theme Party
2

• What's not to love about water parks? The rides,
  the fun, the food, the sun, the expense...Okay,
  so maybe there are a couple of things not to love
  about water parks, like the outlandish expense to
  get in and the fact that a plain hot dog and a
  small drink cost 7 apiece (if youre lucky).
• Why not try your hand at bringing the
  entertainment to your own backyard this summer?
  Granted, you may not have time to get a wave pool
  going through your yard or construct a two-story
  water slide.
• But with a little creativity, you can have a
  backyard party that's both exciting and
  memorable, and considerably easier on your
  wallet.

Planning a Water Park Party

• Party preparation should start at least a month
  in advance, if not more so. This will give you
  plenty of time to shop for supplies, and allows
  for delivery time for any items that you have to
  order. It also gives you time to send invitations
  and get responses. Get creative with invitations.
  You can include "VIP passes" or "Family passes"
  to your water park with your invitations and a
  list of "attractions." Make it a family project
  too. Your kids can add a personal touch with
  water-themed stickers and stamps. Set up an
  assembly line for addressing, closing and
  stamping envelopes.

All the Fun Without the Lines for Activities

• People can get creative enough with just a water
  hose and a sprinkler. Add a couple of wading
  pools, a Slip-n-Slide, and a cache of water
  balloons and water guns, and you've got a
  miniature water park in your own yard.
• Kids can run, splash around, and have water
  fights without having to spend most of their time
  waiting in line for rides or getting yelled at to
  slow down. Consider the age groups youll be
  inviting. Depending on your crowd, you might want
  to set up separate wading pool stations for
  toddlers and let the older kids have run of the
  rest of the yard.

• This way you can avoid inevitable mishaps with
  younger tagalongs getting underfoot in the older
  siblings area.
• Organize team games and events. Assign fun names
  to the teams such as Pirates and Swashbucklers.
  Here are a few game ideas

6

• Blind Mans Bacon This is a variation of '"Steal
  The Bacon." Two teams of players form a circle,
  half on one side, half on the other with two
  squirt guns in the center of the circle. When a
  number is called, the corresponding player for
  each team puts on a blindfold. At a signal, the
  two blindfolded players move toward the center
  where a squirt gun is located. The object is to
  reach the squirt gun and squirt the other guy
  before he came make it back behind the protection
  of his team. Teams are allowed to shout
  instructions to the blindfolded players.

7

• Water Balloon Toss Gather your 2 teams into
  straight lines facing each other, about 2 yards
  apart. The players in line 1 each toss a water
  balloon to opposite players in line 2. Any
  players who have a balloon burst are out. After
  each balloon bursts, a new balloon is brought
  into play, both lines take one step backward and
  toss again. Repeat until only one pair of players
  remains.

8

• Water Balloon Race Gather 4 or more players into
  two teams. On the word "go," the first player on
  each team puts a water balloon under his chin
  then races to the end of the course and back.
  When he gets back to his team, he has to pass the
  water balloon to the next player without using
  his hands. If the balloon breaks, the player has
  to go get a new balloon and start over. The first
  team to finish wins.

Sailor-Worthy Snacks

• Instead of the normal water-park fare of
  grease-soaked pizza and funnel cakes, offer
  healthy snack alternatives. Popcorn machines are
  one way to add water park flair to your backyard
  party without the usual butter and salt overdose
  youd expect at an amusement park. Popcorn
  machines create easy, healthy snacks, and can be
  reused for an event after event, whether it's a
  neighborhood block party, family reunion, church
  gathering or birthday party.

• You can also throw fun, water-themed snacks like
  the Sail Boat Snack into the mix as well.
• Young guests will enjoy creating coral reefs out
  of Cheetos and Cheese Whiz, or making octopi out
  of marshmallows and peeled licorice sticks. Kids
  can also create individual beach scenes in bowls.
  Mix vanilla pudding with blue food coloring and
  add crushed vanilla wafers on one-half for sand.
• Add a tiny umbrella and gummy fish for
  personality.
