Provide entertaining pool party games and activities for your teen's next pool party. Create structured games to encourage positive interaction and keep the swim party under control. Offer plenty of sunscreen and towels for your guests and stop any aggressive play or foul language. Always have adult supervision during any pool party to ensure the guests' safety. Does this Spark an idea?
Drive In Movie Pool Party
Bring the drive-in to your backyard and let the kids watch their favorite movie poolside. Purchase several comfortable floats with drink holders for the kids to lounge on while they watch the movie.
Show the movie using a projection screen on the side of your house. For a screen, hang a queen- or king-sized white bed sheet on the side of the house. Grab your portable DVD player, a projector and a digital audio player to create your outdoor theater. Connect the DVD player to your projector to project the video and to the digital audio player for sound. Position the system on a table approximately 10 or 15 feet away from the screen.
Raft Relay Races
See how fast teams of teens can paddle across your pool and back on a raft. Purchase two rafts of the same size and four plastic paddles. Divide your guests into teams of two and ask the guests to stand in a line at one end of the pool.
The first teen in line sits on the float and has to paddle across the pool to the other side, turn around, come back and tag the next team member. The next team member hops on the raft and races to the other side and back. The first team whose final member gets to the finish line first wins the race.
Water Limbo
Play a quirky calypso CD while teens see how low they can limbo underwater. Water limbo is played just like limbo on land but players have to dip under the bar while submerged under water.
Use a long plastic pole and have two teens hold each end. Play limbo in shallow water so everyone can touch the bottom. Start the game with the limbo stick one foot above the water's surface. Teens line up and have to walk underneath the limbo stick. They can't touch the stick and must bend backward to get underneath.
