Bail the Ship (Fun VBS or Camp Large Group Game)

Bail the Ship is a fun large group game. It pits two groups against each other and burns off a lot of energy. I have seen it played at Vacation Bible School and at camp. It's always a lot of fun.

It can be used with an ocean or adventured themed VBS or camp. Or just change the name to fit your theme. 🙂

This game does not have a winner or loser. It is just for fun and getting wet!

Instructions 

  • Divide the playing area into two parts using the divider.
