Wild Water Slides
If you can’t make it to a water
park, try making your own
water playground in your back
yard or at a local park. Here
are some ideas!
Can you figure out where each water slide
begins and ends? Write the correct letter
at the end of each slide.
Juggle or toss water balloons.
Water parks are great fun in the
summertime. Thrilling, twisty
water slides, relaxing lazy rivers
and spraying fountains that
drench you in cool water make
for the perfect place to spend a
summer vacation day.
Create a squirt gun shower.
Squirt water out of the gun and
over your head and see if you
can turn around two times
before the water hits the ground.
But you need to be careful so
you don’t get too much sun!
Too much sun can cause a
painful burn and even increase
your chances of skin cancer.
Protect Your Skin!
Make a water blob. Use two
thick sheets of plastic sheeting
and a roll of duck tape to make
a giant sack to fill with water.
Roll around and slide on your
water blob!
Replace the missing vowels to
discover how to protect your skin
from burning at a water park.
