Fun Underwater Games For Kids

By Harriet Porter


Now pool party is complete without a bunch of games for the kids to play in order to entertain themselves while they are there. Now the types of games that would really entertain the guests would be underwater games because these are both fun and challenging. So for those who would want to host an underwater game, here are some ideas to start out from.

Of course one of the most popular game among kids would be the diving for an object at the bottom of the pool. Now the objective of the game is to simply retrieve the item that was tossed into the pool before the others would. Since this is technically a race, the first one who gets the item and brings it to the surface wins.

Another great game to play would be who can hold his breath the longest. As the name implies, the rules would just be the winner who is able to hold his or her breath down under the pool the longest wins. Of course he or she would have to stay down there and not come up in order to be counted.

One very interesting game that was inspired by the synchronized swimmers would actually be the handstand contest. Now the rules to this game are very simple as the only thing that the participants would have to do would be to hold a handstand while half their bodies are in the pool. Once their legs go down, then it is game over and the last one standing wins the match.

Now one extremely entertaining and not to mention long game for the kids to play would be underwater tag. Now tag is actually a very common game that most kids would know about because a lot of them would play it. Tag is where a bunch of participants would select an it and the it has to tag someone else in order to transfer his status to the other person but he has to do this before anyone reaches the safe zone.

Playing tag in the pool actually is no different but it is actually much harder to do now because of the environment one is playing in. Now instead of a field wherein one can run around, one will now be swimming instead. Now just like in normal tag, there would be an it and a safe zone for the runners to hide.

Now one of the most interesting games in the list is the dive for treasure game. Basically, one will be throwing a number of objects into the bottom of the pool wherein each item has a corresponding number of points. Based on the items that the participants collected, the one with the most number of points will win.

So basically, those are some great ideas for some pool party games. Now these games were designed to be played under the water for the sole purpose of being more challenging to the participants. Of course the more challenging the games are, then the more fun the participants would be having.
