Advice on running a highschool water-war

Post by Chewie » Tue Jun 10, 2008 5:09 pm

So I help out with a youth-group, and in a month we're having the MOTHER OF ALL WATER WARS! I'd like to do something more than just 'go out and get wet', so here's what I was thinking;

Capture the flag, with the ability to 'die'. Glue an alka-seltzer tablet on a string and hang it around your neck. When it falls off, you're dead. Kids will have their own guns, and we'll have about a thousand water balloons.

Are there any other good formats for these sorts of things that are simple enough for a highschooler to understand?

The thread in question is here.

I'd just recommend making some simple rules and staying with them. Capture the flag is easier enough to do, but the kill system may get some disputes--you may need some referees as well. Or at least someone to settle a possible dispute quickly and correctly.

If by good formats you mean ways to count eliminations, an alka seltzer tablet seems simple enough. Another common way is getting a certain amount of water on both sides of a shirt and count that as a kill. Alka-seltzer should work fine though.

If by good formats you mean game types, here's the thread lazerhawk was talking about: http://forums.sscentral.org/t5019/
