Water Balloon Game
Ah, summertime—it’s the season of sunshine, warm breezes, outdoor parties and outdoor games. Our all ages water balloon game puts a berry fun spin on the classic party game. Using berry-colored balloons, teams of two toss water balloons back and forth until the last team stands…or gets soaked.
How to Play:
Number of people: At least two teams of two
Items needed: As many water balloons as there are teams, plus more for backup balloons
1. Fill water balloons and tie off the tops
2. Divide players into teams
3. With teammates facing each other, form two lines
4. Depending on age/physical capability, begin with partners three to four feet away from each other
5. After each successful toss, players take a step back until the balloon falls
6. The last team left with a water balloon wins!
Variations:
1. Blindfold the players for an added challenge!
2. Water balloon toss-and-catch with towels – using a towel, players catch and catapult the balloons to their teammate.
3. Balloon bucket challenge — supply each team with a small bucket of four water balloons each. See which team can get the farthest apart using the least balloons.
Fun & Easy Cleanup: Give kids another game to see whoever can pick up the most broken balloon parts.

Relay Race with Berries
At your next outdoor party, incorporate food games for a great way to build teamwork, bring people together and break the ice among party-goers! Our Berry Relay Race uses chopsticks or spoons to pass delicate and delicious berries between teammates. The first team to cross the finish line wins!
How to play:
1. Divide into teams
2. Establish a start line and a finish line
3. Line the players up at the start line

7. The first team with all players seated wins!
Newlywed Game
A favorite color, a favorite movie, and—of course—a favorite berry. These are probably the things we know about our spouses, partners, siblings, and besties. Want to put your knowledge to the test? Our newlywed game questions are a fun way to break the ice and share the berry joy!

Guess the Number of Berries
We’ve all played the guessing game where we guess the number of jelly beans in a jar—fun, right? We’ve taken the classic party guessing game and given it a delicious, healthy twist with berries! In this fun party game, players will guess the number of berries in a bowl or jar, and whoever’s closest wins the berries as a prize!
How to Play:
1. Place a large number of berries in a bowl, making sure to count them beforehand
2. Next to the bowl of berries, place a pile of blank pieces of paper, pencils, and an empty bowl for the entries
3. Participants write their name and guess on a blank piece of paper and place it in the empty bowl
4. Have a designated person tally the results
5. Whoever’s guess is the closest gets to take the berries home!
