If it’s steamy outside, water games are a fast way to cool off — even if you don’t have a pool. Kids will love Cold Potato: Fill a balloon with water and prick it with a pin, then toss it from one family member to another. The object is not to be the one holding the balloon when the last drop of water leaks out. If that doesn’t get you wet enough, try a few rounds of Sponge Tag. The player who is “it” soaks a large sponge in a bucket of water, then chases down the other players until he tags — and drenches — one lucky person with his sponge. That player then becomes “it.”
