Top Ideas For Poolside Fun

Relaxed pool parties, fancy cocktail evenings, the lecture of a captivating novel on a sun bed on the poolside while sipping a colored drink…the number of things you can do near a pool! If you have recently bought or built a pool and you need a few ideas and fresh inspiration on how to turn it into the centerpiece of your yard, here are a few useful suggestions.

Throw A Fancy Cocktail Party

Decorate the area around the pool using your favorite theme - it can be anything from a cheerful décor for “An Evening in Hawaii” to a “Sharks” movie theme. Get some cold platters ready or create a nice corner buffet and make sure you have a bar filled with fancy drinks, cold beers, lemonade, gin and tonic and plenty of refreshers to keep the guests happy. Decide whether you will allow people to get inside the pool during the party and keep an eye on children who might be attending the party as well as tipsy adult guests.

Play Poolside Games

You can also think about playing some engaging water games like volleyball, hose limbo, Marco Polo, mermaid swim races, or other games you can think of.

Mermaid Swim Races

For this particular game that will engage your small ones you will need at least 4 players to make the game truly fun, as well as plastic shells, some string and, needless to say, a swimming pool. You will need to run some string through plastic shells and build a shell necklace for each of the mermaid swimmers. Next, tie the end of these necklaces and line up the young swimmers at the end of the pool. The first mermaid to reach the end of the pool will be the winner.

Poolside Bingo Games

While the beloved game of bingo is appreciated for its fast pace and nice prizes, it can also be played adding little more spice to it. Or, better yet, some water. Check out the Lucky Touch Bingo site and learn the basic rules of playing a 75, 80, or 90 ball bingo game. Get all the inspiration you need in terms of bingo ball design and create similar cards to the ones you can find by playing games like Big Ben, London Hall, City Hall, Sit n Go, Bingo 50 or Victoria 90. With as little as £0.05 for an entry you could win several dozen up to a few hundred or thousand Pounds in prizes during a single game of bingo. See how many players are inside a bingo room at any given moment and decide which of the games best suit you. Double Wammy, Beticus Maximus, Chasin’ Treasure, or King of Slots are just a few of the jackpot games you can also find on the same platform, along with casino games, tourney games, scratch card games, and freebets. This place can definitely keep you busy for hours so you can simply grab your laptop, pone or tablet and access it while chilling on the side of your pool on a 24/7 basis.

If you want to get the kids involved into a fun game of water bingo, buy small plastic balls with numbers on them or paint them if you can’t find any, throw them into the pool and have one of the children grab them while the rest are sitting on the pool edge checking their cards.
