Slip and slide at your own risk.

]]> 84373 656 0 Step Get a tarp Buy at least two 16-foot lengths of heavy plastic tarp from a home repair or hardware store. Your best bet’s in the gardening or painting departments.

]]> 84374 657 0 Step Decorate Use waterproof stickers or paint to decorate your runway and give it some flair. Allow it to dry before using.

]]> 84375 658 0 Step Find new locations Think outside your backyard. Does your local high school have a slight incline perfect for sliding? What about the park or the lake? Get permission from local authorities, and then have at it!

]]> 84376 659 0 Step Clear your path Inspect the area where you’re going to put the tarp. Make sure you remove any underlying rocks and sticks, as well as anything else that could be sharp or painful to slide over—or into.

]]> 84377 660 0 Step Add water Spray down the full length of the tarp with a hose. Make sure you have a source of cold running water nearby, and keep the tarp constantly soaked.

]]> 84378 661 0 Tip Mix in dish soap, Jell-O, or mineral oil for some slippery variety.

]]> 84379 662 0 Step Pimp your tarp Add an inflatable kiddie pool to the end of the tarp for extra splash.

]]> 84380 663 0 Step Reuse pool toys Pool toys like inflatable rafts, inner tubes, or even foam noodles make for fun sliding.

]]> 84381 664 0 Step Add another game For extra fun, hold a contest for things like the farthest slide, the most creative slide, or the most spectacular wipeout.

]]> 84382 665 0 Fact The original Slip ’N Slide first became popular in 1961.
