Pool Party Games For Kids During The Warmer Weather

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 parents will just encourage the youngsters to play the activities, it can be even more appealing to the children if there are prizes for the winners at the completion of each game. Prizes do not need to be costly to be lots of fun. Often, you can find some great choices at simple discount shops.

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 number of different games on the market that can be played in water nowadays. Basketball is probably the most popular choice among the activities but, there is also tennis and golf among many more. These activities can be found in many different department stores at varying prices. Generally speaking, they are not too costly to purchase.

You might also want to buy a bunch of small balls or rubber ducks. Mark the balls or the rubber ducks with either a number or a color to identify them when they are in the water. Tell the children to race their ball or duck to the other end of the water without using their hands, the first person to get to the other side wins.

Ice cube races are a fun and low cost way to play a challenging game. Simply take a large quantity of ice and throw them in the water with the kids. In different teams, have the youngsters race around the water and collect as many ice cubes as they can before they all melt. To make it an even bigger challenge, tell the players they are only allowed to grasp the ice with 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.

Pool party games for kids should be determined based on the ages of the children who are attending the festivities. Always remember that you need to have a lot of adults present to ensure that the children are safe while they are in the water. Encourage parents to stay during the party and be sure that you do not have too many youngsters swimming at once, having too many in the water can make it much harder to watch everyone.
