Use a watermelon as a prop in fun outdoor games. A classic example is watermelon football, where teams take turns trying to get the slippery fruit across a goal line. Just be prepared for lots of laughs and a big, juicy mess!
If you're always looking forward to summer's sweet melons, why not grow your own? Plant melon seeds in your garden or a large container and wait for the juicy fruits to mature. Melons need lots of sunlight and water, so pick your planting spot carefully.
