Pool Party Ideas - Splish Splash: It's a Pool Party

Planning a pool party? Trying to figure out pool party hosting ideas? What are the main things to be concerned with? When coming up with ideas for a pool party, your focus should be on appropriate activities and games for the age group involved, and of course the safety precautions for pool parties of all age groups. Teen pool parties will be different from the ideas you might come up with for a preteen.

For All Age Groups: A pool party invitation should mention that fact right up front- preferably on the first line. Some parents may have some serious concerns about letting their child come to a pool party.

Decorations (All Ages): Basic décor can work for all ages, including balloons and streamers in the favorite color of the guest of honor.

Additional decorations that are fun for pool parties include Hawaiian themed gear, brightly colored paper lantern lamps and palm trees.

Teen Pool Party: Make sure that the supervision of a teen pool party is as inconspicuous as possible. Discuss the safety rules with your teen and then check in from time to time, especially if it sounds like things are getting out of hand.

Games (Younger Ages): Pool games like floater polo is a good choice. Another good choice is beach ball volleyball. Keep a monitor on the weaker swimmers.

Games (Older Children and Teens): Marco Polo, organized races and Volleyball are good choices for older children and teens.
