Water Party Games for Adults

We’ve got 16 ridiculously fun water games to choose from! They’ve each got a splash rating to help you pick the ones that will work best for your event. If you’re feeling ambitious, you can totally do every single one! Look in the top corner of each card to know how drenched you will get by playing that game. A four splash game will leave you soaked. Meanwhile, you’ll be a little wet in a one splash game. We’ll give you a small sampling of our water games for adults below. But to get all of our ideas, download the printables for so many more!

The Cup Races

The Cup Races are kind of like those carnival games you’ve seen. You shoot a stream of water at a target to get your character to move towards the finish line. In our races though, you’re shooting a plastic cup and trying to get it to move along a string to the finish line. You probably won’t get too wet with this game. So just grab a few water guns and you’ll be good to go!

Ping Pong Water Tension

Here’s a game that’s more challenging than it seems. When you’re collecting water games for parties, you don’t want them all to be easy! It is so funny to watch grown adults jump around, passionate about winning! This game will really build anticipation and competitiveness! This could also be a science lesson for the kiddos on water tension! See how many ping pong balls you can blow off the top of the water. Be careful where you stand or you might get a splashed from the overspray!

Sponge Bucket Fill Up

In the Sponge Bucket Fill Up, don’t plan on staying dry! It’s a simple game that only requires buckets and sponges… and tons of water, of course! Moms should really have an advantage at this water party game, considering our skills with sponges in the kitchen! Run with a sponge full of water to a second bucket. Ring it out, and run back to the first bucket to fill up the sponge again. Transfer the most water to the second bucket and you win!

Body Popping

Get ready, these water balloon games will drench you! This is one of my favorite water games for parties. Watching everyone try to pop these balloons is absolutely hysterical!

I find a way to be highly creative and highly organized all at the same time. I love discovering a new favorite book, sitting on my back porch in the mornings, mountain views, and random science facts! I married my high school sweetheart after dating for nearly a decade and I love meeting people who know how to make me laugh, like my husband who can crack me up by just looking at me.
