How To Play Bucket Balance
Materials Needed
plastic bucket
Get 4 kids to lie down on their backs in a small circle with their legs sticking up in the air. So their feet should be touching at the top, making a kind of table. Put the full bucket of water on here.
The aim is for all of the kids to remove their shoes in the given time limit... so this will mean keeping the balance of the bucket, while one or two players take a foot away and remove the shoe.

Add a commentYall are taking the fun out of it. If you are that scared of the water element, use a bucket full of wiffle or tennis balls. All games can be modified never forget that!!

Let's not get too caught up in safety here, you'll never have any fun if you do!

Kimberly, if there's not a slight element of danger, then it's not a good youth game

We planned to play this last Friday night at our youth group however at the last second we realised that it may not be appropriate for girls to play in hot weather as skirts/shorts while lying down and sticking legs in air might be a bit inappropriate. We still ran the game but just got four male volunteers. Unfortunately two of the volunteers weren't wearing shoes... so it didn't work as well as we thought.
I think it would work best in winter, with everyone wearing decent shoes. Fill the bucket with random objects (not water) and set up multiple teams and have a race to see which team can remove their shoes first.

I'm pretty sure it's fairly simple - maybe follow a recipe like this:
