Pool or water themed tableware items such as paper plates, cups, napkins, and cuttery make a nice addition to any pool party. Send pool party invitations to all guests as well. Make sure to tell the guests in the pool or nautical themed invitations, exactly what kind of party it will be, so they can come prepared.

Pool Party games and Activities: Create additional fun and excitement through pool party games and activities. While a pool alone is fun, make the party more fun by suggesting children play a wide range of fun, yet challenging pool games.

Treasure Hunt - See which child is the best treasure hunter. Place objects in the center of the pool - either ones that float or sink - and have child dive to get them. The child who can grab the treasure first is the winner.

Tug-O-War - Put a rope across the pool and the team who pulls the others in the water are the victors.

Dog Paddle race - Have the children race each other using the doggy paddle end to end. Ensure the children do not break the doggy paddle technique.

In the Over The River Game each child skips over a stream of water from a garden hose that starts low to the ground. The stream gets progressively higher after each player has his or her turn. The player who hits the stream of water is eliminated.

Pool Party Food - Pizza and BBQ are obviously food choices for a pool party. Other dishes include lemon ginger shrimp, bacon wrapped hotdogs, pasta salad, and various summertime fruits such as watermelon, cherries, strawberries, and pears.

Pool Party Favors - Reward all winner of pool party games with party favors. In addition, give all guests a summer time themed party favor bag children can take home and enjoy. Offer children sunglass, flip-flops, beach balls, water guns, water balloons, and towels.

Safety at a pool party cannot be stressed to much; make absolutely sure all the kids are monitored all the time.
