As a kid I used tubes, a box fan, a cooler, and bucket with a siphon to cool me down.
You could easily set that up with just the water from a sink and some hardware store parts.
Search for ‘diy fan cooling tub copper coils’ as a start.
As an example: Homemade AC - The “Copper Coil” Air Cooler! - (Simple "Box Fan …
Copper coils have the best thermal efficiency, but plastic tubing would also work.
