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 generally the best part of the experience. Parents and children can easily make some home made paper chains that help cut off different areas. You can have areas for the different games, around the pool, an eating area and a kids only and parents only area. It is always important to set ground rules to be followed so everyone has fun.

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 great game is hose limbo. This is where two people hold a hose while someone passes under it. Whoever goes the lowest wins. A good group game is marco polo. A chosen player swims around saying marco with their eyes closed. The other children say polo. When one is touched they become the new it person.

Always wait 30 min after eating food before getting back in the pool. Try planning a pinata sometime near the end of the event. Every kid there would love that. Remember to always have supervision at all times. Pool party games for kids typically are meant to be fun, good supervision ensures they remain that way.
