A lot of parties happen over the summer time. People will allow their children to invite other youngsters over to the house to have a good time playing in the swimming pool in the backyard. The youngsters love to play in the water and will often look for other things to do besides simply swimming around. Many want something else they will make the day even better. An option for parents is to help them organize an activity that allows them to compete against each other. There are plenty of pool party games for kids that one can choose to initiate. What follows are some of the favorites that have been played over the years.

One activity that has been for seemingly forever is called "Marco Polo". This is when one of the players has to wear some type of blindfold, unless they can be trusted to keep their eyes totally closed, and calls out the name "Marco" as they make their way around the water. Other players are suppose to respond by saying "Polo". This allows the blind folded person to determine where the other players are. When they end up touching one of the other children, then that child has to put on the blind fold and start looking for the others.

The children can compete against each other in a long jump contest. Someone has to be in charge of a floating device in the water. The contestants can either run off of a diving board or deck and jump over the floating device. The device keeps on getting moved further away until only one person can jump over it and win the contest.

A fun activity is "Crossing the River". A rope is attached to the edge of the pool. Each child must climb onto an unstable floating device and must try to pull themselves to the other side without falling off. The winner is the one who can do this the most times without getting dumped into the water.

Some children really like to play something called "Treasure Hunt". This is when objects that sink are thrown into the water and allowed to scatter all along the bottom. A child will dive in and collect as many objects as possible without taking a breath. The one who retrieves the most items from the bottom will be the winner.

If one has a deck surrounding the pool, then they can play "Tug O'War". Two teams get on either side of the pull. The team that pulls the other team into the water is the winner.

"Noodle Joust is another game that many children really like to compete each other in. One will want to get a couple of Nerf noodles that are soft and will not hurt when people hit each other with them. The one who can knock the other off of a floating raft is the winner.

Children can have a lot of fun when playing pool party games for kids. There are many activities that they can choose from to fill up their day. Hours of fun can be had in the safety of the backyard.
