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

By Tiffany Gill


There are not many things that beat summer heat like owning your own swimming pool full of bright blue water under a shade tree in your back yard. Often children will go to great lengths to make friends and invite them to come over and swim in it. Generally the more challenging things to do is finding good pool party games for kids and their playmates to play that will maintain their interest and involvement while still having fun.

When organizing one of these events, you are not required to invest a lot of capital or in several cases massive amounts of your time. What is vital is that it seems well thought out with various activities that involve every child so no one feels left out. Following this program will help ensure more play dates for your kids and a place for you as a successful parent with happy 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.

Good decorations are a must have for a successful event. They are what generally sets the party's mood and for many children they often help build the excitement up for the party day. They should generally be simple to clean up, inexpensive and easy to make. A few basic streamers, an inflatable yard effect and a lei for every guest as 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 to try using. Find a coin is where you throw a coin or similar small object in the water to see who will bring it up the quickest. Balloon tossing is where kids toss a filled up water balloon back and forth using only a folded towel held tightly between two people.

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 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.
