Summer vacation is in full swing, and you might be looking for ways to keep the kids out of the house and playing in the backyard. One way to keep the hot summer fun going while keeping cool, are these wet & wild water games.

  • Ginormous T-Rex Dinosaur Yard Sprinkler

    Sure, there are sprinklers, and then there are dinosaur sprinklers shaped like a tyrannosaurus rex. Not only is it inflatable, so it’s easy to store and put away, but it stands at a Jurassic-sized 7 feet tall. Your kids will love it, and you’ll be the talk of the neighborhood.

  • Dunk Hat Game

    We’ve all played the dunk tank at our local fair, but bringing the 200-gallon tank to the neighborhood proves to be a bit of a hassle, until now. Miniaturized to fit on your head, the Dunk Hat Game brings the fun and excitement to your backyard! Boasting two targets, it’s only a matter of time before somebody gets soaked, and after all, that’s the idea, right?

  • World’s Smallest Super Soaker

    It may be pocket-sized, but this squirt gun is able to hit targets up to 25 feet away. Sure, everyone on the block in the 90s had a Super Soaker, now you can relive your childhood on your own, or vicariously through your kids with the World’s Smallest Super Soaker. 

  • Goliath Hydro Zoom Ball

    Temperatures hover near the 80s and 90s this time of year, so we’re always looking for ways to cool off. This Zoom Ball uses water balloons and inopportune timing to soak either you or your friend as you play, sending it back and forth.

  • Inflatable Sprinkler Pirate Boat

    Avast ye mateys! You don’t need to be right by the high seas to enjoy this pirate ship experience! Just try to get the kids back inside after a day playing in the sprinkler and talking like a pirate. Don’t be wearing any captain hooks though, it might pop! 

    Buy it now from Zulily. 

  • High Bounce Reusable Water Balls

    Don’t show up to a neighborhood water fight with anything less! These highly absorbent splash balls are made out of cotton, so you can have your water-balloon fun, without the balloons! Plus, they’re so soft, no one gets hurt, only wet!

We remember what it was like to play outside in the summer with just a garden hose at our disposal. We hope this list of fun backyard water games not only gives your kids some much-needed outdoor water fun but also brings out the kid in you.
