Using things you may already have laying around the house, you can put together this super fun outdoor water game perfect for summer! For this game the goal is to fill your cup with the most water in a certain amount of time, or see who can fill their cup first!
HOW TO MAKE A SQUIRT GUN TARGET GAME
We made these using plastic cups, plastic plates (these are the Chinet Cut Crystal dessert plates) cups and this free printable.
I applied plenty of hot glue to the top of a cup and held the plate to the cup until it dried.
A bit of double sided tape, glue dot or dry adhesive (like the tape guns) on the plate will hold the printable on the back! You could also use permanent marker on any plastic plate, or no decoration at all.
We found rocks of the same size to place into the cup to keep it steady. If I was doing this for a party I’d maybe attach them to a long board with a nail and then seal it with some more hot glue. This would make it easier to make sure the cups won’t fall over spilling the water out.
Make sure everyone has plenty of water to re-load (we used the pool) and fire away!
It’s fun to play by yourself too (at least according to my 11 year old who was out there shooting water into the cup for the last 20 minutes).

I love this idea but is the point to see how full the players can get the cup?
Yes, or really, however you want to play!
Is there an easy way to print your tutorials?
Unfortunately not right now! Definitely something to work on though, thank you!
