Organizing An Event With Various Pool Party Games For Kids With 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 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 always a must for the successful get together. They are what sets the mood and for children they will often help to build the excitement for the day to come. They should be simple, easy to clean up and hopefully inexpensive. A few streamers, some inflatable yard effects and a lei for guest 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 lots of good games to try out. Find the coin is where you drop a coin or other small object into the water and see who can bring it up the fastest. Balloon toss is where children toss a filled water balloon to each other using only a towel held between two people.

Another game is called hose limbo. For this two children hold up a hose while another walks under it. Whichever child goes the lowest wins. Another group game is called marco polo. An it player swims in the pool yelling marco with their eyes shut. The other children yell polo. When someone is tagged they become a new it 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.
