Equipment:
Required:
---------
6 or more Neighborhood Kids
1 Watermelon
1 Jar of Crisco or other cooking grease Optional:
---------
A Whistle

Description:
Take the Crisco and cover the watermelon thoroughly.

Heave the greased melon into the swimming pool. (It should float.)

Blow the whistle, or shout "On your mark, get set, Go!" at which point everyone jumps into the pool and swims towards the watermelon.

The object of the game is to be the person who gets the watermelon out of the pool. Meanwhile, everyone else is trying to take it away and get it out themselves.

Other comments or suggestions:
This is a game that can be played in teams, too. Each team tries to get the watermelon out of the water at their own designated side of the pool.
