Ways to have Summer Fun with Watermelon

Have a Watermelon Seed Spitting Contest. (Kids will often do this on their own.) Save some seeds and plant them in time for watermelons for next year. Use a melon ball scoop to make melon balls and eat them. They are much more fun than ordinary pieces of watermelon. Carve you melon. Cut a melon in half and scoop out the red melon. Carve a design that goes through the green rind and exposes the white. Use it as a decorative melon bowl to hold fruit salad or berry sorbet.
