Duck Duck Drench

(For Ages 6+)

Ingredients:

  • A large cup filled with water

Prep Time:

  • 5 minutes

Recipe for Fun!

This is a definite outdoors game! Have players sit in a circle. Whoever is “IT” walks around the circle with the cup of water in hand, dripping a small bit onto the head of each person they pass, saying “drip” aloud each time. When IT reaches a person they want to be the new IT, they yell “drench!” and dump the cup of water onto that player’s head! The drenched player needs to jump up and try to tag IT. If they do, IT has to start the game again. If IT manages to sit in the drenched child’s old spot without being tagged, the drenched kid becomes IT.
