Pool party games for kids are a great way to keep all of the little ones entertained. On hot Summer days, water based games are a great way to stay cool. These types of games also cost very little money to arrange. Games can be played with just a few kids or an entire crowd.
The purchase of a basic pinata can be turned from a classic party game into an entirely new idea. Instead of blindfolding the participants and having them swing wildly at the pinata, use the pool as part of the fun. Don't even use a blindfold and have the kids swing at the pinata as they run and jump into the water. The prizes hidden inside can include toys capable of floating. When everything floats, there are no worries about losing anything and the bottom or something getting wet that shouldn't be.
Items such as squirt guns, toys and swimming goggles are all good suggestions for filling the pinata. Add a few fun items, but also a few that are useful while in the water. Candy is okay to use, as long as it is enclosed in a water proof container. $1 stores are an excellent source for all kinds of trinkets that could be hidden inside.
The children themselves are a great place to get some ideas. Their creative minds tend to think of cheap trinkets that an adult wouldn't consider. It might be a surprise to find that they are so excited about the same itself that they are fine with he pinata being empty. While the prizes are great, the real fun is in breaking the pinata and splashing into the water.
Another activity idea is filling the middle of the pool with prizes. All of the kids must stand at the edge and wait for every item to be tossed in. Once everything is in the water, it's time for the fun. The fun of watching them all dive in in an attempt to grab as many prizes as possible while still being able to get back to the edge is quite hilarious to see.
Relay games are also easily adapted into water games. Two separate pieces of rope can be tied across the middle of the pool to get started. The kids should split into two teams. Each team member will race to get across the pool on some that floats, while pulling themselves with the rope. The winner is declared when one team successfully gets each member across and back again.
Life jackets could be used for the flotation devices in this game. They work well to keep everyone above the water and keep everyone safe at the same time. Children that don't know how to swim could also participate with this method. Regardless of how it's played, an adult should stay close to monitor the activity.
Pool party games for kids are a lot of fun, but safety should always come first. Every game should be suitable for the age of the kids that will be playing it. Everyone needs to have proper safety gear to use as well. As with any water based activity, a responsible adult should remain nearby to help keep everyone safe.
