10 GREAT WAYS
TO PLAY PITCHBURST®
Check out these
great variations or use your own
imagination!
1. CLASSIC
- Use full 11" or 12" water balloons.
Pitch the ball, hit the target and
SPLURSH! Extra fun for fund raisers when
you charge $1 to $5 for 3 throws.
Sometimes kids will line up and pay just
to sit in the chair to be the one
splurshed!
2. LITE
- Fill 11"
balloons with 1 quart (or less) of
water, inflate the rest with air. Same
fun action, less water used (good when
it's chilly out, or you're indoors with
a kiddie pool to catch the Splursh
water).
3. SPLURSH
OFF! - Use TWO
Pitchburst games facing one another.
Each contestant is both pitcher and
Splurshee… each takes turn pitching
while the other sits. First to SPLURSH
the other wins! Get 2 popular VIPs to
play for charity and crowd will cheer!
(Can be played on one game too, but that
requires more running around.)
4. CONFETTI
- Use confetti instead of water in
balloons (make your own with a funnel,
or buy hand-filled confetti balloons
from us). Great for indoors, or when
your VIP good sport really doesn't want
to get wet! Also adds a great popping
sound!
5. SLIME!
(OR APPLESAUCE OR PUDDING)-
Kids have seen it on TV, so make it
happen for wild and crazy events. Insert
food-colored applesauce or pudding
through a funnel (fill about 1/2 full)
and inflate the rest with air. Be
prepared to clean up, though.
6. FLOUR-
In a POP! your splurshee looks like a
powdered donut! Funnel in simple white
flour (about 1/2 cup does fine), and
fill the rest with air. Nice variety
especially for indoor fun.
7. MYSTERY
SPLURSH!-
Unique combo game first used in London:
Fill 4 opaque, numbered balloons: one
each with water, flour, pudding,
confetti. Let your Splurshee choose
which number balloon they want to sit
under - nobody knows what they'll get
hit with until the target's hit. Great
crowd excitement builder!
8. FUNNELED
FUEL-This
one's unique for the pub or spring break
crowd. Fill balloons with your favorite
beverage (from tap makes it easiest).
Splurshee sits in chair below the
balloon, holding wide funnel in their
mouth. When target's hit and balloon
bursts, Splurshee gets a funnel full to
drink. (Caution: see special note
below.)
9. PIN THE
SPLURSH ON THE SPLURSHEE-
A tame but fun game for little tikes.
With someone ready to be splurshed (we
recommend just a little water as in #2
above), the "pitcher" is blindfolded and
given a Jugglebeanball. Instead of
throwing, they're turned around 3 times
and told to push the ball into the red
target.
10.
WHEELCHAIR-Finally,
a dunking game for fun loving people
with disabilities. Pitchburst can be
played in wheelchairs, by both the
pitcher and the splurshee!
