Now pool party is complete without a bunch of games for the kids to play in order to entertain themselves while they are there. Now the types of games that would really entertain the guests would be underwater games because these are both fun and challenging. So for those who would want to host an underwater game, here are some ideas to start out from.

Now one of the easiest but also most fun of the underwater activities would be dive for the object under the water. The rules of the game are simple as the first one to retrieve the object that was thrown under the pool will win. The object can be as big as a phone or as small as a coin as long as it can sink down in the deep.

Now another old game that many kids would play would be holding the breath under the water. Basically, the participants would just have to go down underwater and just hold their breaths. Now the one who is able to hold his breath the longest time will be the winner.

Now there is one challenging game wherein the participants would have to do a handstand. This is of course known as the underwater handstand contest and is somewhat based on the handstand that the synchronized swimmers would be doing when they are doing their routines. Of course the winner will be the participant who is able to do the handstand the longest.

Now probably a lot of people would know about the game that is known as underwater tag. Of course most kids would be familiar with the popular game that is known as tag wherein one person is an it and he has to run after the others in the game. When the it tags another person, then that person becomes the it provided he does not reach the safe zone.

Now the rules for this version would actually be the same as the original tag but this time the participants will be playing in the pool. Instead of running, the participants would have to be swimming and diving under the water in order to get away from the it. Of course there would also be a designated safe zone for the escapees.

The last game on the list would be diving for treasure. Now this game would just involve tossing a few coins or some other objects into the pool for the participants to get. Now each object would have its own designated number of points and the one who has the most number of points after collecting the objects will win.

So for those who are hosting a pool party for kids, these ideas may be able to help out. What would make these games really fun is the fact that they can be quite a challenge to the children there. The more strenuous the activities are, the more tired they can become and actually the more satisfied they can be.
