0 Planning A Get Together With Pool Party Games For Kids And Their Friends

By Tiffany Gill


There are few things that beat the summer heat like having your own pool full of cool bright blue water in the back yard under your favorite shade tree. Many children go to great lengths making friends so they can invite them over to swim in it. Often the most difficult thing is finding pool party games for kids to play that will keep them interested and involved while having fun.

When planning a get together, you should not really need to spend lots of cash and in most cases lots of time. What is critical is well planned out activities that will involve all the kids so nobody gets feeling left out. Doing this should not only help ensure many more play dates for them, but will maintain your spot as the popular parent raising friendly children.

One of the more critical items for most parties is the themes. This is the main thought or idea you will incorporate into them. It may be something as basic as a tropical theme using flowers or as ultra complex as a sixties superhero theme where everybody dresses like a favorite hero. Try letting your children brainstorm and come up with various ideas that they like. The idea is to let them use their imaginations.

Decorations are generally a must for most successful get togethers. They are what makes the mood and for most children they can often help build up the excitement for the special day. They should hopefully be inexpensive, simple and easy to clean up. A few inexpensive streamers, inflatable yard effects and some leis for your guests 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 game is called hose limbo. For this two children hold up a hose while another walks under it. Whichever child goes the lowest wins. Another group game is called marco polo. An it player swims in the pool yelling marco with their eyes shut. The other children yell polo. When someone is tagged they become a new it 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.
