That process continues, with the members not allowed to move their feet until the final pair can toss their balloon into the bucket. The object of the game is to throw a water balloon into the first towel, then have the two people that are holding that towel by the edges toss their balloon into the towel next to them. Each group holding a towel will be restricted to a small area that they can’t leave. In the middle, place groups of two guests holding a towel from each end.
