Unfortunately this summer in Winnipeg you may be on your own to help cool the kids down. According to the city of wpg, some of the wadding pools in the city are temporarily closed or have shorten hours because of staff shortages. Might be time to go “old school” and break out the sprinkler! Here’s a few game ideas from The Simple Parent!
- Fill the Cup – In this simple activity every child has a cup and they do their best to fill it with water from the sprinkler first!
- Treasure Hunt – This is a great game if you have a sprinkler that covers a lot of your yard. You could also use multiple sprinklers. Spread water-safe toys (sponge balls, bath squirters, etc.) around the yard and have kids race to collect them.
- Alphabet Hunt in the Water Sprinkler – Use foam letters and your sprinkler to combine learning with a whole bunch of fun!
- Bike Wash – Use the sprinkler as part of a homemade “car” wash using kids bikes. Let them soap them up then ride them through the sprinkler!
- Water Slide – If you have a slide that is not too steep, you can use the kids sprinkler at the top of the slide to turn it into a homemade water slide.
