By Tiffany Gill


There are few items that defeat the heat like your own pool with cool blue water in your yard tucked under a favorite shade tree. Lots of kids will go to great lengths finding friends so they may invite them to stop by and try swimming in it. Typically the difficult thing for parents is planning pool party games for kids that keeps them involved and interested while they are having fun.

When planning one of these get togethers, you do not need to spend a lot of money and in many cases a lot of time. What is important is that it is well thought out with activities that involve all the children so no one will feel left out. Doing this will not only help ensure more play dates but will ensure your place as a popular parent with happy friendly children.

One of the most critical items for any party is the theme. This is the thought or idea you are incorporating into it. It could be something as simple as a tropical theme with flowers or as complex as a superhero theme where everyone dresses like their favorite hero. Let your children brainstorm to come up with different ideas that make them happy. The idea is to let children use their imaginations to make it work.

Decorations are always a must for the successful get together. They are what sets the mood and for children they will often help to build the excitement for the day to come. They should be simple, easy to clean up and hopefully inexpensive. A few streamers, some inflatable yard effects and a lei for guest when they arrive.

Games are often the best part of any party. Parents and youngsters can make some easily constructed paper chains that cut off different spaces. You might have places for the various games, around the pool side, a food only place and a kid only by a parent only place. It is important to have ground rules for everyone to follow so everybody has a good time.

There are many good games for children to try. Find your coin is where someone drops a coin or another small item into the pool's water and watch who can find it first. The balloon toss is when children throw a water filled balloon to each other while using only a towel to catch it held between two children.

Another simple game is the hose limbo. This is when two kids hold a hose up while someone limbos under it. Whoever goes lower is the winner. A simple group game is marco-polo. One chosen player swims around the pool with closed eyes saying marco. The other children reply with polo. When a kid is touched he becomes the new marco person

Always wait at least 30 min after eating before jumping back in the water. Try working in a pinata some time at the end of the day. Every kid there will love that. Remember to have good supervision. Pool party games for kids are suppose to be fun, supervision makes sure they stay that way.
