Pool Party Games For Kids In The Warm Summer Days

By Marsha Klein


Pool party games for kids are a fabulous way for the kids to enjoy the warmer weather while they get some exercise with family and friends. Planning ahead can help you to keep all of the children busy and limit the possibility of them getting bored.

While some people simply encourage the youngsters to play the game they are offered, it can be great fun for them to have prizes for the winners. Prizes do not have to be expensive, often discount stores have some great ideas that children will love to have should they win.

Though there is no set rule about what kind of prizes you should get, it can sometimes be even more intriguing for the children when prizes are theme based. Any prizes that are related to the water or the summer weather can be fun to have on hand.

There are a variety of games that can be played in the water these days. Basketball is probably by far, the most popular but, there is also golf and tennis among the many more choices. The activities can be bought in many different department stores. While the prices will vary depending on the store, they are not usually very expensive.

Buying rubber ducks or balls can allow you to offer a simple but, fun game. Mark each of the balls or ducks either with a color or a number to help you and the players to identify who owns which one. Instruct the children to swim as quickly as possible with the game piece. Tell the children they are not allowed to use their hands, only their feet to make the game piece move along the water.

Ice cube races are also a popular choice and are very budget friendly. Simply grab a bunch of ice out of your freezer and throw it into the swimming pool. In teams, have the children collect as many as they possibly can without letting the cubes melt. To make it more difficult, tell them that they are not allowed to use their hands to collect the ice cubes but, instead have to use their feet.

If you are dealing with older children, they would probably enjoy water relays. The idea is pretty simple, put the children into teams and instruct them to race from one end of the pool to the other with an item of your choice. You might want them to use something like a ball, or a water noodle but, pretty much anything you can imagine will do. The first team who's members all get through the relay first wins.

The age of the youngsters will obviously play a part in helping you decide which pool party games for kids are most suitable for the event you are hosting. Always be sure there are plenty of adults available to help supervise the children. Encourage parents to be present during the event and be sure there are not too many children in the water at one time, having large numbers of children in the water at once can make it harder to keep an eye on all of them.
