Pool Party Games For Kids In 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 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 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 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.

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.

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.
