Marcus… Polo! Is there any parent who doesn’t get tired of hearing this name around the middle of June? There are other great games of pool that can ring as the hot summer heat begins to turn even the most jaded of people into lobsters. If you’re like me, you’ve probably banned Marco Polo from the pool around the third or fourth time your kids played, but what’s left after the “inventor” of Italian pasta is knocked out? Well, here are some fun ideas for kids games to play around and inside the pool that won’t drive you crazier than Karl Rove .
Pirate’s Lost Booty. What kid doesn’t like to dive to the bottom of the pool and come up with what sank to the bottom (paraphrasing the sources of Wayne’s Song)? Sure, you can throw a boring old man into a pool of clubs, but where’s the joy in that? But take a few coins and put a black tape in the shape of an X over them. (Unless, of course, you’re crafty and can create an impenetrable skull and bone pirates with pirates) throw coins high in the air like Sharon Stone in the Casino and allows them to rush to the bottom of the pool. The kids who come up with X-ed medals are then rewarded. The reward is up to you.
Sea World. You don’t have to worry about the tax sticks you have already bought. . For and some how. Buy about seven in fact.

A parent or legal guardian or teenager also sticks his hips to the pool games seven sticks into the pool and shouts everything “Go Shamu ! ” (or interposing the words) and then two dolphins or whales try to enter one another, in order to try to collect the greater part of the urinated sticks. The winner gets million dollar. Or you know, whatever you can afford.
a fun weekend fun game a>, but even if you did not tie the rope from one side of the pool to the other. Take two large honing sponges and wet them. The object? To sing SpongeBob himself, F.U.N. There is only one object in this game and that is to get two sponges going through the net and have an exit. The team that drops the sponge is defeated. But it’s not a real diet because of the fast and crazy fun it involves. The more you can get involved, the better. This is an ideal game for eight or more people, but two people can have it too if The pool isn’t too big and the throwing weapons aren’t like Gates Bill.
