By Marsha Klein


Pool party games for kids is a fun way for youngsters to pass their time during the warm summer days while they also get some exercise with their peers. Planning your festivities ahead of the party will assist you in keep everyone's attention and help to decrease the chance that your little party goers will become bored.

While some parents will just encourage the youngsters to play the activities, it can be even more appealing to the children if there are prizes for the winners at the completion of each game. Prizes do not need to be costly to be lots of fun. Often, you can find some great choices at simple discount shops.

Though you can choose any type of prizes that you want, you might consider buying prizes that are related to water or beach fun. Swimming masks, shovels, pails, water balloons are just a few of the great things that you can use as a prize.

There are countless activities one can play while swimming in the water these days. Basketball is often a first choice for most water game theme days but, you might also find your guests enjoy tennis or even golf among many other fabulous games. You can buy many different activities at a number of different shops. While the prices are likely to vary slightly from store to store, it is not likely that they will be very expensive.

You might also want to buy a bunch of small balls or rubber ducks. Mark the balls or the rubber ducks with either a number or a color to identify them when they are in the water. Tell the children to race their ball or duck to the other end of the water without using their hands, the first person to get to the other side wins.

Ice cube races are a big hit at most water themed parties and the activity is very budget friendly. Simply grab a large handful of ice cubes and toss them into the water with the children. In teams, have each of the youngsters collect as many of the ice cubes as quickly as they can before they melt. To make it even harder for them, tell them they can only use their feet to grab them.

If you are dealing with older children, they would probably enjoy water relays. The idea is pretty simple, put the children into teams and instruct them to race from one end of the pool to the other with an item of your choice. You might want them to use something like a ball, or a water noodle but, pretty much anything you can imagine will do. The first team who's members all get through the relay first wins.

Pool party games for kids should be determined based on the ages of the children who are attending the festivities. Always remember that you need to have a lot of adults present to ensure that the children are safe while they are in the water. Encourage parents to stay during the party and be sure that you do not have too many youngsters swimming at once, having too many in the water can make it much harder to watch everyone.
