It has been hot hot hot lately! In this blog post, we're giving you fun & easy ways to stay cool! 
​
pool games!
  • Marco Polo! A classic game where one person closes their eyes and yells "Marco!" The other players respond with "Polo" and the seeker tries to find them by listening.
  • Diving treasure hunts: If you have diving rings, torpedos, or even some spare change, you can play this game. Race to grab the objects, or assign point values to each one to make it more complicated! (This one is not for the public pool :) definitely for if you have your own or you're at a friend's!)
  • Bobbing heads: Like whack-a-mole with pool noodles! If you're underwater, you can't be hit!
  • Quick jump quiz: As the kids jump into the pool, ask them a question, like "What's your favorite color?" If they can answer it before they hit the water, they win!
  • Secret tag: In this game, one person starts as "it" and they chase the other players around the pool. However, when they tag someone, they keep it quiet! The game gets more exciting and suspenseful as no one knows who is a friend or foe!
  • Beach ball race: Who can get their beach ball across the pool the fastest? No throwing!

water games:
  • Squirt gun fight: Self-explanatory!
  • Water balloon fight! Try these self-filling little balloons for quick & easy fun. 
  • playing in the sprinkler
  • relay race: put cold or ice water in a cup and balance it on your head for a relay race. The team with the most water left at the end wins!
  • ​water balloon catch--use your hands or grab some plastic bowls from the kitchen
  • not a fan of water balloons? make sponge bombs instead!
  • a squirt gun race with plastics cups on string. see it here!
  • want something artsier? check out these  splatter bombs full of color!
