SMASHING WATERMELONS

This is a kind of children's game played on the beach, in which youngsters, who are blindfolded one at a time then spun around, try to smash a watermelon. After the watermelon is smashed, pieces are divided among the children for a refreshing summer treat. SMASHING WATERMELONS image
