![r/Damnthatsinteresting - In 2007, after one of their gorillas, Bokito, escaped and attacked a women who stared at him everyday, the Rotterdam Zoo started handing out glasses that tricked the gorillas into thinking that zoo goers weren’t staring at them](http://web.archive.org./web/20240526022908im_/https://preview.redd.it/in-2007-after-one-of-their-gorillas-bokito-escaped-and-v0-rs0d6srqdm2d1.jpeg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=462d99d11fa06679f77bc513707bf0285c86e6d7)

With warmer months coming up soon, here's a tip for a fun way to stay cool. I've run games for many summer programs, including water games, and I've hated trying to use waterballoons. They take a ton of time to prep and clean up, and they run out very quickly. So I looked for another option and ended up trying carwash sponges from Walmart and they worked great. Cut the sponges in half and soak them in a bucket or tub of water. Each sponge half will be good for hundreds of throws, they don't hurt at all when you get hit with one, and they're easy to refill quickly. They work great for dodgeball games.
EDIT:
I run sponge games on a grass field. I realize playing on dirt or gravel areas would be an issue, so just try to be smart about where you play.
I'm aware of silicone waterballoons, but sponges do have an advantage over those. The sponges I've been using can easily hold enough water for 2-3 throws and still make a splash.
