water balloon toss

Splashy throwing game

A water balloon toss is a game where partners throw a water-filled balloon back and forth, stepping farther apart after each successful catch.

The balloon eventually breaks, soaking someone—which is the point.

It's a staple of picnics, field days, and summer parties: We lost the water balloon toss in the third round.
