To buy
Sponge bombs are reusable, so there's no balloon litter to pick up afterwards. Make them once and keep them in the summer box.
Younger kids: Play catch instead of tag, or throw at a target on the fence.
Older kids: Play team capture-the-flag where a hit sends you back to base.
⚠ Safety Play before 10am or after 4pm on hot days, with hats, sunscreen and water bottles. Agree on no throwing at faces.
