Marco Polo Game
Marco Polo game is one of the fun outdoor games for kids, group games for kids and teen games.
4 or more players Ages: 6 and up
Adult supervision is needed for this game.
Young kids and weak or nonswimmers should stay in shallow water. Older kids and strong swimmers may venture to the deeper end of the pool.
One player is Marco and is "it". He closes his eyes while the other players swim away from him.
With closed eyes, Marco has to try and tag the other players. If he's unsuccessful, he shouts out "Marco!" The other players have to shout "Polo!" He then swims after players after hearing their voices.
This water tag game continues with the swimmers trying to avoid "it", and "it" trying to tag them (with eyes closed!).
Swimmers can shout "Polo" whenever they want tricking "it" into swimming towards their voices while they swim away from him.
A player who gets tagged is out of the game. He gets out of the water while the game continues.
The winner is the last remaining swimmer after all others have been tagged. He is now the new Marco for the next game.
