Water Ball

6 or more players
Ages: 8 and up
Need beach ball

Adult supervision for the kids is needed.

This game can be played in shallow water so younger kids and non swimmers can play with an adult around.

Divide the kids into 2 groups. An uneven number in each group is fine.

Each group will be at opposite sides of the pool. A group's players stand beside each other, arm's length apart.

One player gets the beach ball. He begins by throwing the ball across the water to a player on the other side.

While the ball is in the air, he calls out a name of a player in the opposite group. This player must try and catch the ball. If she does, she and the thrower get one point.

Players in her group try to catch the ball, too. If a player catches it, he gets one point.

Players line up against the sides of the swimming pool again. The player who caught the ball is the new thrower.

If the ball is not caught, the original thrower goes again.

Play continues in this manner. The winner is the player who gets to 20 points first.

Kids will love to splash around as they try and catch the ball. Splashing is what makes the game fun!

Try and call out each kid's name so they all have a chance at going for the big catch!
