Our nascent idea was to have "drama clubs", but lack of preparations limited us to an inflatable hello kitty stick and an inflatable rainbow carousel unicorn stick. I think I like your idea of water guns, but there are two problems:
- When it's wet (like it was), squirting people who have taken pains to remain dry is going to really really piss them off, so it's difficult for that to stay funny and lighthearted. - When it's hot (like it could have been), getting shot with a water gun is actually a desirable outcome, so it's never really a punishment.
Also, hitting is not a limited resource and does not require additional packing space, but water for water guns does not enjoy those characteristics.
So it would be awesome, except for complicating circumstances.
