Outdoor Water Games for family fun. All you need is tarps, colored Duck tape, Pool noodles, water balloons and water

We created these easy DIY Water Target Games in the summer of 2012 for a family event, before I started this blog. I saw the idea on Pinterest but couldn’t possibly find that post now. It’s an easy and inexpensive DIY project. You will need tarps, Duck Tape and Pool Noodles. We used badminton net poles to wrap the big tarp target around. To make it more fun we used water balloons to throw as well as more pool noodles to throw as spears. We also covered the tarps with dish soap and placed a water sprinkler next to it.
