Setup
- Fill large trash cans with water. This is the starting point.
- Game begins with 5GAL buckets empty. Place the 5GAL buckets 10-15 yards away from large trash cans
Game Play
Divide players into 2 teams. Each team lines up behind a large trash can.
One person dips their sponge in a bucket, then runs down to the other end, trying to fill that empty bucket before the other team. After a quick squeeze into the 5GALLON bucket, they return the sponge to the next person in line. (make sure it’s a quick squeeze. Sometimes they want to squeeze every last drop out of the sponge which takes too long).
