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 simply believe that the games themselves are what kids enjoy, the fact is, it can be even more enjoyable for the players if there are prizes involved for the winners at the end of each game. It is not necessary to spend a lot of money on the prizes. Quite often, you are able to find some really unique choices at local discount stores.

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 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.

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 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.

Older children might enjoy a water relay race. The concept is very simple, put your players into different teams and have them swim as quick as they can from one side of the pool to the other with an item of your choosing. The first team that has every member complete the task first is declared the winners of the relay.

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.
