I remember one time when our church youth group had a picnic. My wife and I were the Youth Group leaders at the time. We made up a large tray of water balloons and set it on a picnic table. Then, I took one of the balloons and hid it behind my back. We told the kids they couldn't take a balloon from the tray until we said "GO".

All the kids (teenagers) gathered around the tray and waited for my wife to say "GO". They were intently watching the balloons in the tray. I tossed the balloon I had taken earlier high into the air. It arc'd over the kids' heads and landed right in the middle of the tray, popping several other balloons and soaking the kids.

I paid for it dearly for the next few minutes as they all pummelled me with the balloons that were left. But, it was great fun.

Daniel, I hope this brought a smile to your face.
