Frozen T-shirt game

This water-play activity uses water in its most summer-friendly state — frozen! 

If you have a crowd of kids to entertain, this fun group water-play idea is just what you’re looking for. It does require a little planning but is fairly simple: each child (or team) gets a T-shirt that has been thoroughly frozen. The first person to get the shirt defrosted and on, is the winner. You can fold the shirt up neatly or wad it into a ball before freezing. Try each method and see which one is trickier. Either way, this game is sure to be a popular one.
