Summer is pool time, which means you should bulk up on your favorite water activities. One way to enjoy some quality bonding time with the family is to hang out together in the water! Here are a few fun and engaging games everyone can enjoy.

5 Exciting Family Pool Games

1. Pool Toy Race

To partake, simply line up several floating toys along one edge of the pool. Each family member picks one. Then it’s off to the races—or in this case, the other end of the pool. Whoever reaches first is the winner.

2. Ping-Pong Hunt

Don’t discount the enjoyment of pure simplicity. For this game, all you need is a bag full of ping-pong balls. Unload them into the pool and set a timer. The person who retrieves the most balls wins the game.

3. Loose Coin Search

Troy, MO poolHere’s a fun way for experienced swimmers to test their diving skills. Simply toss some coins into the pool and see who can collect the most. If you don’t want to risk losing that spare change, invest in a few plastic coins—they’re available by the hundreds—and use those as a fun alternative.

4. Push the Watermelon

To play this inventive game, grease up a whole watermelon with something slick, such as petroleum jelly or olive oil. Then, simply drop it into the middle of the pool. The family, divided into a pair of teams, then attempts to push or maneuver the watermelon however possible to the other side. Break it down into periods so there’s a clear winner at the end.

5. The Invisible Bottle

It’s easier said than done to find a two-liter bottle filled with water in the middle of a swimming pool! That’s precisely the premise of this tricky game. Peel the label off the bottle and screw the cap on tightly when you’re ready to play. Once someone tosses the bottle into the water, everyone goes off in search of it.
