Summer DIY “Don’t Spill the Bucket” Game [TUTORIAL]
We played this family summer fun “Don’t Spill the Bucket” Game thanks to Banana Boat and as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars. All opinions are my own. #BestSummerEver
If you have been to a water park or splash pad, chances are you have seen those over-sized buckets that gradually fill up with water and then spill over on top of giddily screaming children below. Something about the uncertainty of not knowing when and where the deluge of refreshing water was going to fall makes kids giggle with excitement. OK, maybe I kind of get that way too.
After a brainstorming session with my also crafty Mom, we decided to combine a favorite childhood game of mine (Don’t Spill the Beans) with the concept of the spilling bucket, and create a fun “beat the summer heat” game that the whole family can get into. We can’t wait to bring it up north to the cabin with us for the upcoming 4th of July weekend! Here is how you can make your own “Don’t Spill the Bucket” game:
Don’t Spill the Bucket Game Supplies:
- homemade die with numbers 1-4
- small cup
- clothesline rope (I bought mine at a local hardware store for just a couple bucks)
- medium sized bucket (again, bought at a local hardware store for about 99 cents)
- a raised bar/swing set for hanging your bucket
- a chair/swing for sitting beneath the bucket
- Not pictured: larger bucket filled with water for filling your cup
- don’t forget the Banana Boat Clear Ultramist Dry Oil Spray Sunscreen with Argan Oil! (the only oil sunscreen that doesn’t make me feel like a greased hog)
