A water balloon launcher will add some extra spice to playing the normal water balloon games.

It’s easy to organize, fun to play and a great way to break the ice between guests who have not met each other before.

The goal of the game is simple: the contestants have to shoot water balloons at aimed targets. To play the game, you will need a water balloon launcher, also called water balloon slingshot. You can get them in various sizes and price categories from well sorted toyshops. If you prefer to order online, see the products on offer below.

Once you've filled enough water balloons, you will have to select your target. It can be anything from a car (your own, not your neighbours' please) to a tree, a statue to a wall. Some water balloon kits even come with an easy to set up target. Please remember: never aim at or in the direction of people, animals or personal property.

According to your taste, and the age of your guests, you can choose between small handheld slingshots and giant devices where you need three people to launch the balloons. They can shoot your balloon as far as 250 yards!

If the kids want to join in with those giant slingshots, you can get two adults to hold each corner of the water balloon launcher and the kid can be asked to stand at the center, just behind the balloon.

Give each kid a maximum of three chances to hit the bull’s eye. It is funny to see how far away they remain from the target initially, but with some practice they will improve quickly! If you get tired of filling the balloons with water, make the children prepare their own balloons. They will feel great to contribute to the game they love playing.
