National Water Balloon Day History

The municipality of New market, New Hampshire, organized National Water Balloon Day in 2019 as a means for locals to enjoy themselves while escaping the sweltering summer heat. It is seen as a healthy, family-friendly pastime since it is a vibrant, inclusive exercise that fosters camaraderie and is suitable for individuals of all ages.

Playing with water balloons brings so much excitement to people, making them a summertime classic and fixture at pool parties and parks. Throwing a jiggly orb of water and watching it explode in a flash of wetness and rubber flakes gives one a distinct thrill and exhilaration. Many find that there's no greater feeling of excitement than when they toss balloons back and forth.


Since its debut in 1950, the water balloon has mostly remained the same in terms of both form and function. In those days, British inventor Edgar Ellington just wanted to know how to cure trench foot, so he filled a latex sock with water. He tossed the liquid sphere against a table and watched it explode after realizing it was leaking. Ellington came up with the brilliant idea to sell his unintentional creation as a toy for kids, which it still is.

Since its creation, there have been a number of advancements, including the creation of new varieties and the availability of more effective methods and tools to help fill it. Users of water balloon fights also gain skills including leadership, cooperation, and tactical thinking. But the primary objective of the water balloon hasn't changed in decades: to provide everyone with easy, wet entertainment.
Just don't forget to always carry a towel!

Select a game to participate in
You can choose how you want to play with the water balloons, but if you're stuck on how to get started, there are a number of popular games you can choose from.

It doesn't hurt to offer some water balloons if a friend or family member is hosting a child's party and feels that it is appropriate. When it's okay, arrive with as many water balloons as you can to add some extra excitement to the celebration and enjoy the sound of kids laughing through the fight.


Organize a Water Balloon Battle
By planning a water balloon fight, both adults and children can participate in National Water Balloon Day celebrations. Organize it as a family affair, bring the children of your cousins over, or throw a big neighborhood celebration. There must be an abundance of little balloons that can launch at other players and hold water, regardless of how it is carried out. Put on your beach suits, load the balloons, and get ready to have a good time!


Play Party Games with Water Balloons

FAQs

Can I make water balloons with normal balloons?
Latex balloons or other balloons with greater elasticity are ideal for usage with water balloons. Regular party balloons can also be used for water balloons, but be aware that their lining may be inferior to that of better balloons, making accidental popping and tearing more likely. It's important to add just the right amount of water to the balloon.

Are water balloons painful?
Anything you throw can hurt you if not used correctly, and water balloons are no exception. When you toss and play with them carelessly, it can cause eye, ear, or skin damage and put young children under three at risk of choking. For this reason, it's crucial to abide by common sense guidelines, such as prohibiting children under the age of six from playing with water balloons and requiring adults to be present during water balloon battles. To guarantee a good time that is safe, all of this is crucial.

Balloons: who invented them?
Rubber balloons were created by Faraday in 1824 for his investigations.
