5 Creative Games to Play on the Water with Your Kid’s Splash Jetski

Owning a Splash jetski isn’t just about riding in circles or straight lines - it’s about sparking imagination and joy. With the right mindset (and a bit of creativity), your child’s jetski becomes a vehicle for adventure, skill-building, and unforgettable memories.

Whether you’re at a lake, by the sea, or in a calm bay, here are 5 fun and safe games you can play with your child using their Splash Lite, Splash, or Splash Pro.

1. Follow the Leader

A classic game, now made better on water. You or another child takes the lead jetski and performs simple maneuvers (gentle turns, circles, zig-zags). Your child follows and tries to match each move.

Why it works:

  • Builds coordination and control
  • Encourages focus and confidence
  • Allows gentle skill progression

2. Water Tag (With a Splash Gun!)

If your Splash jetski has a built-in water gun, take advantage of it! One player is “It” and tries to tag the other by squirting them with water while riding nearby.

Safety tip: Always play in a slow-speed zone and keep a safe distance.

Pro tip: This game is perfect for siblings or friends with their own jetskis!

3. Bubble Trail Chase

Fill a mesh bag with bubble solution and attach it to the back of your own jetski. As you ride slowly, it leaves a trail of bubbles that your child has to ride through or follow.

Why kids love it:

  • Adds a magical visual element to riding
  • Encourages balance and gentle steering

4. Obstacle Course Challenge

Use pool noodles, inflatable buoys, or floating toys to create a simple obstacle course. Have your child navigate through it while maintaining control of their Splash jetski.

Great for:

  • Developing spatial awareness
  • Practicing turns and stopping
  • Friendly competition and fun

Make it more fun by timing each lap!

5. Splash & Search

Toss floating toys (like soft rings or foam shapes) into a designated play area. Give your child a list of things to find, retrieve, or tag with their jetski.

What it teaches:

  • Focus and observation skills
  • Confidence while maneuvering
  • Turn-taking if playing with others

Bonus Tip: Set the Scene

Games are more fun when there’s a little atmosphere:

  • Play music using the Splash’s built-in Bluetooth speakers
  • Use colorful decals or flags to make your child’s jetski stand out
  • Reward game completion with a treat or beach picnic

Final Thoughts

With a little creativity, your child’s Splash jetski can provide more than just motion - it becomes a tool for learning, bonding, and laughing together. These games are easy to set up, adaptable to different skill levels, and guaranteed to bring joy to every ride.
