Wet Sponge Toss

Wet Sponge Toss

Amed with a garbage can lid, one parent must defend himself or herself from kids who each get three chances to make a direct hit with a large, wet sponge. Depending on the weather, parent volunteers can do this wearing rain gear or swimsuits. Provide a bucket of water and at least three thick soft sponges and mark off a line behind which the children throwing the sponge must stand. The parent can duck, twist or use the garbage can lid to avoid the wet sponges --- but the parent must remain with their feet planted in one place as the kids pitch their sponges.
