6. Use water guns to shoot water into the cup to move the cup along the string.

There are many ways to play this water gun cup game. You can:

  • Allow all the players to move with the cup.
  • Have all the players stand in the same spot while the cup moves along the string.
  • Use different squirt toys to shoot water.
  • Make the string go upward or downward.
  • Use different-sized cups – the smaller the cup, the harder!

Final Thoughts on Cup and Water Race

You are probably wondering, “how wet am I going to get playing this with my kid?” The secret is … if you are not the one winning, you won’t get wet! The one who is winning will be the one in front of the other players so there is a chance he/she might get shot by the water gun. Otherwise, you should remain fairly dry!

My kids had so much fun racing the cups with their water guns. I hope yours did too!
