Water Gun Newspaper Drop
It’s great finger exercise too! Here’s an idea for a water gun newspaper-drop game.
Operating a water gun requires finger strength, right? This time, let’s try a challenge where control is also key: the water gun newspaper drop.
Once you hang strips of newspaper from a tightly stretched string, you’re all set.
The game is to see who can knock down the most newspaper strips using water from a water gun.
Playing outdoors is fun, but if you’re worried about the heat, you can lay down a blue tarp and play indoors as well.
Water Gun Race
It’s a game where you use the force of a water gun to move a ball floating in the pool and skillfully carry it to a target.
You can set the distance and course to the destination, and the rules have players compete to see who can maneuver the ball there most accurately.
Wind, people moving in the pool, and the resulting waves can cause the ball to drift on its own, which makes the game more challenging.
It’s recommended not only to focus on your own ball but also to devise strategies—like occasionally disrupting your opponents—when you play.

Let’s play in the sandbox! Here’s an idea for a game where you search for toys buried in the sand.
It’s a perfect outdoor activity for summer: use water guns to uncover toys hidden in a sand mound.
Kids can blast away the sand with their water guns and enjoy the thrill of discovering the buried toys.
It’s like a treasure hunt—sure to be exciting! If you decide the number of toys in advance, you won’t forget to take any home.
It’s a unique idea that combines sand play with a treasure hunt!
Making a PVC water gun

If you’re looking for a craft or independent project for summer vacation, we recommend this “PVC pipe water gun.” “PVC pipe” means rigid polyvinyl chloride—the gray water pipes you’d recognize at a glance.
This PVC pipe water gun is quite popular, and lots of tutorials on how to make it have been uploaded online and on video sites.
The basic idea is the same as a traditional bamboo water gun, and you can get PVC pipes at home improvement stores, so it’s not too hard to get started.
From creative decorations to maximizing range, the rest is up to your ingenuity.
We can’t wait to see your fun PVC pipe water guns!
Push-and-push game with water guns
https://www.tiktok.com/@partyfiestaoficial/video/7127231154670832901A race using water guns! Here’s an idea for a push-and-go game using water guns.
When it comes to playing with water guns, many people probably imagine spraying each other with water.
This time, let’s try a race using water guns instead.
What you’ll need: two paper cups, two lengths of string, and an awl.
Make two paper cups by poking a hole in the bottom with the awl and threading a string through each—once that’s done, you’re ready! Tie both ends of each string to something like a fence, and from start to finish, use only the force of the water to push your water-gun-powered cup toward the goal!
Dog and Water Gun

Are you a dog person or a cat person? In this Reiwa era where people are spending more time at home, it seems the number of pet owners keeps growing.
On a sunny summer day, I’d love to splash around with my dog! It’s fun just to fill up a kiddie pool and romp around in it, but using a water gun to spray your pup could be an option too.
You might see unexpected, funny reactions—like your dog opening their mouth to drink the water or turning their back to enjoy the sensation.
Just be sure not to do this with dogs that don’t like water.
In conclusion
We introduced water gun games that everyone—family and friends—can enjoy together! I think it was the kind of content that makes you look forward to the hot season.
Water guns are sold online, and higher-spec models are coming out every year, so be sure to check them out! Of course, handmade water guns are also recommended!
