Ghetto Olympics Year 3

More Games!

Overview

With how much fun we had the previous year, I knew I had to do it again! This time it wouldn't be a surprise, but I made sure there were all new unique games.

There weren't that many videos/pictures taken this year, but the idea was all the same. Below are the only 3 games I managed to find footage of.

Event Details

  • New Games
  • Bigger field
  • Tons of Fun

Slingshot is Back!

What flies further and more accurately than a spitball? A tennis ball! Now there is a target to hit, but that is not all.

In this team game, athletes must put on XXXXL sweatpants and a t-shirt that are soaked in cold water, and shoot tennis balls at a target. Teammates must field missed balls and throw them back to an area only the shooter can be in. There are only 3 balls per team, so make each shot count!

Watching the shooter have to retrieve tennis balls in such oversized wet clothing was so much funnier than I would have imagined.

Powderpuff Dodgeball

Pretty simple here, just play dodgeball! The only difference is the balls have holes carved out of them and are filled with powdered sugar so when they hit someone, they get covered in a puff of powder!

Don't Spill the Water

In this game, teams were tied together and each given a cup. On one side of a field was a bucket of water, and on the other side was an empty bucket with a line in the middle. The team that could fill their bucket up to the line first won! Do you go fast and risk spilling water and having to do more trips? Or do you go slow and make every drop count??
