Date ideas
Backyard slip and slide dates give you a way to play together at home. Spread a long plastic sheet down a small hill in your yard. Add water from the hose and soap to make it slick. Put on clothes that can get wet. Take turns running and sliding down the path. You can make it last an hour or more by adding games. Most setups cost very little and take under thirty minutes to prepare. These eight ideas give you different ways to use the same basic slide.

Action
Pick out old t-shirts and shorts that can get wet and soapy. Avoid anything with buttons or zippers that might scratch the plastic. A plain t-shirt works well because it dries fast later. This keeps your regular clothes safe while you play.
Pro-Tip
Bring a full change of clothes and towels inside for when you finish.
Spicy Twist
Pick matching shirts so you look like a team.
