Bucket Brigade

Objective:

Each team tries to fill their bucket with water first by passing water from member to member using small cups.

Needed:

2 buckets for each team
a small plastic cup for each player
water
Optional: food coloring

Rules:

1. Divide the group into two (or more) teams.

2. Each team lines up with a bucket at each end. (Front and back of the line)

3. Put water in the first bucket (with food coloring to make it more fun) and leave the second bucket empty.

4. The first person dips his cup into the bucket of water and pours his water into the next person in line. That person then pours the water into the third persons cup, and so on. The last person pours his water into the empty bucket.

5. The team that fills their bucket first wins

Suggestions:

1. A 5 gallon buckets work great for the beginnig bucket filled with water. However, use a smaller bucket, pail or plastic gallon pitcher to fill up

2. A variation can be instead of buckets and cups, use a cup of water and spoons to pass the water down the line. Bigger the spoons the better. Not as messy if playing indoors.
