4 Color War Games To Play at Summer Camp

Summer camp gets an energetic boost with color war games, especially when vibrant-colored powders come into the mix. These games spice up the fun and create a riot of colors that campers will remember forever. Let’s dive into four exciting and colorful games that’ll bring joy and a splash of hues to your summer camp!

Color Tag

Color tag turns a classic game into a vibrant chase! Each camper gets a packet of colored powder corresponding to their team’s color. The goal: tag opponents while splattering them with your team’s hue.

How To Play

  • Divide campers into teams, each with a unique color.
  • Distribute colored powder packets to each team member.
  • Players tag opponents by throwing or smearing them with their colored powder.
  • Once tagged, players sit out until the last person standing wins for their team.

Powder Balloon Toss

Take the traditional water balloon toss and add a burst of color. These balloons deliver a vibrant surprise with every toss. Note: Chameleon Colors’ color powders are not intended to stain or dye clothing. However, when the powders are wet, they can stain. Make sure to advise campers to wear clothing that they don’t mind staining.

How To Play

  • Fill balloons with different colored powders, and then add water.
  • Pair up campers, each team using a specific color.
  • Partners stand close together and toss the balloon back and forth.
  • After each partner makes a successful catch, they take a step back.
  • The last pair with an unbroken balloon wins.

Color Run Relay

This bold twist on a relay combines the excitement of a relay race with the thrill of a color explosion. Teams race through stations where the other team douses them in powder from their color run packets.

How To Play

  • Set up a relay course with multiple stations.
  • At each station, campers cover each other in their team’s colored powder.
  • Teams race to pass the baton from one member to the next.
  • The first team to complete the relay wins, covered head to toe in vibrant colors.

Color Splash Obstacle Course

Transform an obstacle course into a colorful adventure!

How To Play

  • Design an obstacle course with tunnels, hurdles, and balance beams.
  • At each obstacle, have staff members ready with colored powder packets.
  • As campers complete each challenge, they get splattered with their team’s color.
  • The fastest team to finish the course, covered in their unique color, wins.
