Pool Party Games For Kids During The Warmer Weather

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 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 can choose any type of prizes that you want, you might consider buying prizes that are related to water or beach fun. Swimming masks, shovels, pails, water balloons are just a few of the great things that you can use as a prize.

There are countless activities one can play while swimming in the water these days. Basketball is often a first choice for most water game theme days but, you might also find your guests enjoy tennis or even golf among many other fabulous games. You can buy many different activities at a number of different shops. While the prices are likely to vary slightly from store to store, it is not likely that they will be 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 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 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.

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.
