Four Colors Water Balloons CHALLENGE

Preparation
- Fill water balloons in four different colors (e.g., red, blue, yellow, and green). You’ll need a large number of balloons for each color.
- Divide players into four teams, each assigned one of the colors.
- Set up a playing area with boundaries and a central “balloon stash” where all the balloons are placed.
Objective
- The goal is to collect as many balloons of your team’s color as possible while protecting them from the other teams.
- Teams can “pop” or steal balloons from other teams by hitting them with water balloons.
Rules
- Each team starts with a base where they can store their collected balloons.
- Players can only carry one balloon at a time.
- If a player is hit by a water balloon (of any color), they must drop their balloon and return to their base before continuing.
- The game ends when all the balloons are collected or after a set time limit.
- The team with the most balloons of their color wins!

Color Mix-Up
- Add a twist by allowing teams to steal balloons of other colors and bring them to their base. At the end, balloons of other colors count as negative points!
Treasure Hunt
- Hide the balloons around the playing area instead of keeping them in a central stash. Teams must search for their color while avoiding the others.
Team Challenges
- Incorporate mini-challenges (like a relay race or a trivia question) to earn extra balloons or special advantages during the game.
Water Balloon Fight
- Turn it into an all-out water balloon fight where teams try to pop as many of the other teams’ balloons as possible while protecting their own
