Pool Party Games For Kids In 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 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.

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 a big hit at most water themed parties and the activity is very budget friendly. Simply grab a large handful of ice cubes and toss them into the water with the children. In teams, have each of the youngsters collect as many of the ice cubes as quickly as they can before they melt. To make it even harder for them, tell them they can only use their feet to grab them.

If you are dealing with older children, they would probably enjoy water relays. The idea is pretty simple, put the children into teams and instruct them to race from one end of the pool to the other with an item of your choice. You might want them to use something like a ball, or a water noodle but, pretty much anything you can imagine will do. The first team who's members all get through the relay first wins.

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.
