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

By Tiffany Gill


There are few items that defeat the heat like your own pool with cool blue water in your yard tucked under a favorite shade tree. Lots of kids will go to great lengths finding friends so they may invite them to stop by and try swimming in it. Typically the difficult thing for parents is planning pool party games for kids that keeps them involved and interested while they are 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 critical things for any good party is choosing a theme. This is the idea or thought you incorporate into it. It might be as easy as a tropic theme with different flowers or very complex like a superhero theme that everyone dresses up like superheroes. Let your kids brainstorm and come up with some ideas that please them. The general idea is to let youngsters use their imaginations in a positive way.

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.
