also, we have put shaving cream on some teacher's head and had the kids throw cheese balls into the shaving cream. spin art, got a little messy. pass the bucket filled with water down a line of kids to fill a bigger bucket at the end of the line (back and forth until it's filled), we have done that with a sponge too. water balloon toss. we also had the kids dress up with flippers, swim rings, intertube, and swimming mask. the kids love it!

i don't know how big your school is, but we have rented a dunk tank and moon bouncer.
