Fun Ways to Keep Cool When the Temperature Rises

When it is very hot outside, you can try these activities and slightly modify favorite summer games. Make them wild and wet or even change them a bit for indoor fun. The bottom line is you don't need a pool in order to beat the heat wave. There is a varied assortment of party rentals available from Astro Jump North Bay that can keep everyone cool when the temperature rises.

Cold Potato

This is a classic spin on the famous game where you get to pass a wet spraying potato to the next person. Using a pin, make a hole in a water balloon and fill it with water making sure that the balloon leaks slowly and steadily. Gather everyone around and toss the balloon from one person to the next- getting everyone sprayed in the process. The goal of this game is to pass the balloon to the next person before it becomes empty so be sure to pass it around quickly.

Playing Marco Polo with no Pool

This is a cool game to play in the backyard during a hot day. Simply decide on the person to start and blindfold them or have them close their eyes. That person is then given a water gun and counts to ten as the others move to new places in the backyard silently. When the countdown ends, the person calls "Marco" and the others reply "Polo" while moving around. When the person who has been blindfolded successfully shoots someone else with water, it is time to change roles.

Art Projects

Simply change to your bathing suits and go have fun outside. With washable paint and brushes, take turns painting each other. The fun part is usually the cleaning part where you clean each other with the garden hose to erase the "paintings" and start again.

Splat: The Balloon Game

Fill a couple of balloons with water and take turns hurling them up into the air over the sidewalk or driveway. Make sure that they pop on making impact with the ground since the competition is about who is able to make the biggest splat with their balloon. You can use chalk to draw an outline of the mark made by the water and decide on the winner.

All in all, these are some of the fun ways to keep cool when the temperature rises. They are easy to accomplish and ensures that everyone is having fun.
