Water Tag
Invented by 11-year old Russell Moore
 

At the age of 11, Russell loved to play outside with his neighborhood friends. Russell loved football and capture-the-flag, so he decided to try to add another dimension to these old favorites. He decided to add water by inventing a vest that the players wear that soaks the player when he/she is tagged out. From Russell’s creativity came Water Tag, a great game for kids playing outside to cool down on a hot summer day. 

Russell created Water Tag by designing a vest that holds water in 4 interior pockets. Plugs keep the water from spilling out of the vest until a player gets tagged. When a member of the opposing team pulls a ribbon attached to the end of the plug, the vest-wearer gets soaked, and they are out until the next game.

Now when Russell and his friends play touch football, instead of touching the player with the ball they pull the ribbon and soak the player. Great summer fun!
