Most Fun Pool Party Games for Kids in 2025
- Water Sponge Relay
A water sponge relay is a fun pool party game where teams compete to transfer water from the pool to an empty container with a ball inside. The basic idea is to have filled the container with water. All the players must soak the sponge in the pool, running to the empty container, squeezing out the water until the water gets filled and the ball gets out of the container. The first team who can fill it, wins!
- Hungry Hippos Pool Game
This interactive kids pool game is pure genius! Kids float on rafts while trying to collect as many pool balls as possible. It’s like the classic board game, but way more splashy and hilarious.

- Duck, Duck, Splash
Remember Duck, Duck, Goose? Well, this wet twist involves kids sitting poolside while one player walks around with a cup of water. Instead of tapping heads, they pour water! It’s a creative pool party game that never fails to get giggles.
- Watermelon Push Relay
Here’s where things get slippery! Teams race to push a greased watermelon (or plastic version) across the pool. It’s harder than it sounds and perfect for summer pool games children love.
Teamwork-Building Pool Activities
Want to encourage cooperation? Try alligator float pool races where teams must work together to paddle their “alligator” across the pool. Or set up a pool party obstacle course for kids with stations requiring different skills—some kids can be cheerleaders while others tackle the physical challenges.
The beach ball squirt race is another winner. Teams use water squirters to push beach balls across the pool, and trust me, the teamwork (and chaos) is amazing to watch.
