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.
Children and water go together better than milk and cookies. From the time they are quite young, most of them are happy to just jump in and splash around for hours day after day. When celebrating with a group of friends, a bit of organized play may be just the thing to keep everyone enjoying themselves and playing together.
Just because something is a classic, does not mean it is not still exciting. Almost everyone can remember playing Marco Polo when they were younger. The simple concept of having the person who is it close their eyes and yell "Marco!" while everyone else bobs around, responding with "Polo!" while trying to avoid being tagged, will be a favorite for generations to come.
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 best played in rounded pools that have a constant depth and is a great way to get all the children working together as a team. Start them moving around the sides in the same direction, like a train that starts slow and increases speed with each lap. Before long they will be going to fast that the water takes over and begins to move on it's own, allowing the youngsters to lift their feet and enjoy the ride until the momentum winds down.
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.
Those rafts, or inflatable donuts, will also come in handy relay races. Separate everyone into two teams with half of each going to opposite ends of the pool. The object is for a member from each group to jump on the float and paddle as fast as possible to the other side, tagging and switching places with a teammate on that end who repeats the action until the last one finishes and declares victory.
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.
