Easy Pool Party Games For Kids

<

By Michelle Howe


Planning some pool party games for kids is an inexpensive way to keep active minds and bodies entertained. When it's hot outside, fun in the water is one of the best ways to avoid overheating. Most games can be planned at very little cost. Just about any game can be adapted for a small or large crowd.

Take for example, the classic party activity of having a pinata. As a new alternative, this simple item can be turned into a water based game. You won't have to mess with using a blindfold at all. Instead, have the children swing a bat or stick at the pinata as they run and cannonball into the water. Hidden inside can be all kinds of toys. The toys will should be able to float so that nothing gets destroyed or sinks to the bottom.

Items such as squirt guns, toys and swimming goggles are all good suggestions for filling the pinata. Add a few fun items, but also a few that are useful while in the water. Candy is okay to use, as long as it is enclosed in a water proof container. $1 stores are an excellent source for all kinds of trinkets that could be hidden inside.

The children themselves are a good resource for ideas. They will likely come up with items that could be put inside that adults wouldn't think of. Many children love the idea of the game itself so much that they could really care less if there were anything at all inside. In the end, the real fun in this game is the action of swinging to break the pinata while jumping into the water.

Another fun game would be to toss a variety of prizes out into the middle of the pool. Make all of the kids wait around the edges until everything has been tossed in, then turn them loose. Just watching all of the chaos as they try to grab arm loads of prizes and swim at the same time can be quiet entertaining for the adults.

Relay games are also easily adapted into water games. Two separate pieces of rope can be tied across the middle of the pool to get started. The kids should split into two teams. Each team member will race to get across the pool on some that floats, while pulling themselves with the rope. The winner is declared when one team successfully gets each member across and back again.

Life jackets could be used for the flotation devices in this game. They work well to keep everyone above the water and keep everyone safe at the same time. Children that don't know how to swim could also participate with this method. Regardless of how it's played, an adult should stay close to monitor the activity.

Pool party games for kids are a lot of fun, but safety should always come first. Every game should be suitable for the age of the kids that will be playing it. Everyone needs to have proper safety gear to use as well. As with any water based activity, a responsible adult should remain nearby to help keep everyone safe.
