The summertime heat is the ultimate excuse for taking a dip in the cool and refreshing water. It means time to don the bathing suits, blow up those floating toys and enjoy the sunshine and some icy cold beverages. There are so many pool party games for kids that are fun, exciting and sure fire ways to have a full on blast.
Water and children are as natural a combination as cookies and milk. Beginning as toddlers in a tub, they quickly learn to splash around and enjoy the fun of sloshing and swimming. Having some group play with their friends encourages team work and cooperation all while having an amazing time laughing and being young.
The old time classics are still some of the favorites in many pools today. It is almost a rite of passage to play a game of Marco Polo when growing up and many still enjoy it as adults. It is always a thrill to respond "Polo!" to the unsighted it-person's "Marco!" while racing around and trying to avoid being tagged.
Another long time favorite is even more thrilling but probably best left to the older kids. Chicken fighting is where everyone splits into teams of two and one sits atop the shoulders of the other. When someone yells for the game to start, the ones on top start trying to wrestle each other off of their partners and the last duo standing, wins.
Creating a whirlpool is great game team effort game to play in rounded pools with a constant depth level for the best results. Everyone makes a single file line and follows the leader around the circumference, gaining speed with each new lap. Going as fast as they can, the group will build up enough momentum to get the water spinning on it's own, at which point they can all simply hit the floating position and ride the wave, so to speak.
Jousting is a highly energetic competition that can be played in rounds as teams or as an elimination for individuals. Two people straddle inflatable rafts as their horses and meet in the middle of the battlefield trying to unseat there opponent using a pool noodle. The one with the most victories is the winner though even those who lose will find it worth it because of the fun.
Relay races can be a lot of fun with various floating devices such as rafts, donuts and inner tubes. All the children should form two teams, half of each going to opposite poolsides. The starters mount the floats and paddle as quickly as possible to their teammate waiting on the other end, they tag out and the seconds make their way back across to the third, continuing the passes until every member of one group has made it for the win.
Entertaining the children during the heated summer days is actually quite an easy process. Allowing them to gather together to partake of some classic pool party games for kids is a great option. The old favorites are still as much fun as they always were, especially when some new innovative twists are added.
