Wild Wet Wiffle Ball is a fun summer option for a youth group game or for VBS. It is just like regular wiffle ball, only wetter.

Wild Wet Wiffle Ball Youth Group Game

Basic rules are the same as normal wiffle ball. The rules below are typical for kids.
- The group is divided into two teams
- The pitcher throws the ball to the batter. (For young children have an adult or older youth pitch.)
- For young children, let them swing at the ball until they make contact. For older children, each gets to receive three pitches before they are out.
- There is no tagging out of base runners.
- There are three zones. A ball hit into the singles zone is a single. Into the doubles zone is a double. Into the triples zone is a triple.
  - If it doesn’t make it as far as the singles zone, then it is an out.
  - A fielder may stop the ball to prevent it from going into a higher zone.
  - Set up your zones at distances which are appropriate for your age group.
  - A ball caught in the air is an out.
- A player who makes it around all four bases, scores a point for the team.
- Team with the most points after five innings wins.
Use the kiddie pools full of water instead of bases. Runners are “on base” when they are standing in the pool.
If you want to make it extra cold, put some ice in the pools also.
Optionally, add some sprinklers to the sides, between home and first base and between third base and home. Position them so the runners will get wet when running these paths.
A slip n slide between third base and home is also a fun option.
Also consider using a splash pad for the batter’s box.

You could also play a kickball game with your youth group this way.
