Pool Party Games For Kids In The Warm Summer Days

By Marsha Klein


Pool party games for kids is a really fun way for youngsters to enjoy their time in the warm weather while they unwittingly get some exercise with their friends. Planning your day ahead will help you keep everyone busy and help to eliminate the possibility of boredom.

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 you are certainly free to choose any type of prize that you like, it can be even more fun to choose prizes that are summer or water theme related. Shovels and sand pails, swim masks and water balloons are just a few items to consider when you are thinking of prizes for the winners.

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 your guests are older children, they would probably like a water relay. How the game is played is really quite simple, put the kids into different teams and give them an item to race from one end of the pool to the other with. The first team who gets all their members through the race first will be the winners.

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.
