Setting Up

To set up the game, you will need a water balloon for each player, a bat, and a ball. The game is played with two teams of two players each. One player from each team is the batter, and the other player is the pitcher. The game is played on a field with a distance of about 20 feet between the batting and pitching areas.

To start the game, each team gets one turn to hit the ball with their water balloon. The team that hits the ball furthest wins! If both teams hit the ball equally far, then they both get another turn to hit. The first team to get two hits out of three tries wins the game!

Playing the Game

You’ll need two teams of equal players, a water balloon for each player, and a mask or other form of eye protection for each player. The game is played with a soft baseball (or another soft ball).

To start the game, one player from each team stands at opposite ends of the playing field. They throw the ball to each other, and the game begins when the ball is caught.

Players can score runs by Hitting the ball and then touching all four bases before being tagged out by a member of the opposing team When a player hits the ball, they must drop their water balloon and try to advance to the next base before being tagged out. If they are successful in touching all four bases, they score a run for their team.

The game is over when one team has scored enough runs to surpass the other team’s score, or when all of the water balloons have been broken. In order to prevent injuries it is important to make sure that players are not throwing the ball too hard.

Scoring

In water balloon baseball, runs are scored just like in regular baseball. A run is scored when a player on the batting team hits the ball and then safely makes it all the way around the bases to home plate The team with the most runs at the end of the game is the winner!
