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.

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 simple game is the hose limbo. This is when two kids hold a hose up while someone limbos under it. Whoever goes lower is the winner. A simple group game is marco-polo. One chosen player swims around the pool with closed eyes saying marco. The other children reply with polo. When a kid is touched he becomes the new marco person

Always wait around 30 min after drinking or eating before returning to the water. Try getting a pinata to use at the end of the evening. Most children love that stuff. Remember to plan for supervision everywhere. Pool party games for kids usually are great fun, positive supervision will help make sure they stay that way.
