Get Out the Hoses … Try Water Limbo!

Do you remember the “good ol’ days” when the hose was a wonderful resource for cooling off and for great watery fun? Well, if you have a hose at your hose, consider it your new rope for a game of limbo. Remember bathing suits — the goal is definitely to get wet, very wet!

So, here’s what to do — turn on the hose and shoot it in an open area and challenge the kids to jump over the stream of water coming from the hose. At first, hold it low to the ground and then raise the hose higher and higher for them to jump over it. Reverse it, too,  so they can slip under the stream of water. Try playing hose TAG, if you dare, and see if they can dodge this stream of water! Um, I hope you wear a bathing suit, too, just in case the hose gets in the hands of the kids! You never know where the sprays can point! 🙂

Cool off together — have fun and enjoy this idea and more from my book The KIDFUN Activity Book, Expanded Edition, (HarperCollins.) Excuse the plug, but I haven’t really plugged my books much and they are still available on amazon.com!
