Throwing a small party for the children can be a really fun thing to do because both the children and the adults can enjoy themselves. Of course no kiddie party would be complete with some fun activities that will entertain all of the guests to no ends. So here are some great ideas for pool party games for kids that are sure to make the event a really enjoyable one

When one thinks of swimming pools, probably the first game he will think of is the swim race. This can be used as the first game of the day because it is something that is self explanatory. However, if one were to host this game, he should be extra careful because there will be a risk that some children cannot swim and might even drown.

Another great game to play would be to find a coin or some other small object under the pool. The main rule is that a coin is to be tossed into the water until it reaches the very bottom. After that, spread the kids to the corner and the first one to find the coin is the winner. This game will help test the endurance of the children and will even help them to become better swimmers or divers.

Some kids have probably heard about water basketball which is the wet version of normal basketball. Water basketball is very much like the normal one however, the rules are not that strict because it is harder to move in the water. Basically, the goal here is to shoot the ball into the basket as many times as possible.

Everyone would probably know about the game called tag. The only twist here would be that the children would play tag in the water. The it will be staying in the water and the other participants will run away from him. The ones who are not the it will have a five second safety point outside the water.

Hose limbo is another great activity in kiddie parties. Everyone probably knows the game of limbo where one has to lean back as he walks underneath a piece of wood. In hose limbo, someone will spray water from a hose. Players must lean back and get under the stream of water without getting wet in order to win this game.

Nothing can beat the classic water balloon dodge ball. All kids must be out of the pool in order to participate in this game. The children must be divided into two groups and must have a number of water balloons ready in their arsenal. The objective here is for a team to eliminate the entire opposing team by hitting them with water balloons. The first team to have all members of the other team taken out is the loser.

So for hosts of kiddie parties out there, try out these pool party games for kids. Now before hosting these kinds of games, one should always think of safety first. Children are somewhat reckless which may end up in disaster so it is always important for several adults to watch over.
