Summer is a great time to take advantage of your free time and play with your children. Don’t worry a little about safety with the pool covers we have and take advantage of these summer days to have fun and also educate your children playing.

You’ll find that pool games are a lot of fun and you’ll have a lot of fun together. Children love the pool and after a day of playing and swimming with laughter, they will be exhausted and ready for bed. There are many studies that say that playing with children not only brings them fun, but they gain in self-confidence and tolerance. In addition, it is a good time to educate in values, for example in case there is any cheater or more violent than tolerable.

For parents it is also very good, because it helps us to forget about daily problems and helps us to get to know our children better. It strengthens the bond with them as we are all on the same level and forget for a moment the strict parent-child relationship. A fun time together is the best weapon against stress.

But… you don’t know what to play? Here are 3 ideas of hilarious games to make the most of these unforgettable days.

Marco Polo

One of them “keeps it” and the others are distributed inside the pool. The one who is left plays the role of Marco and must close his eyes. The others must try to move away from Marco so as not to be touched, who will have to guess where they are. To help Marco can shout “Marco”. If Marco shouts “Marco” all the others must answer by saying “Polo” and this is how he will find out where they are and chase them. Marco wins the moment he touches another player who will play as Marco.

Colors

It is a game of hearing acuity for the one who “gets it” and to walk very stealthily around the pool. The player stands outside the pool with his back to the pool. The other players stand inside the pool facing the opposite wall and each player thinks of a color. When the player who “stays” begins to say colors and try to guess the chosen colors. When they say your chosen color you must very stealthily walk forward. If the player suspects that someone has left the wall, they can turn around and jump into the pool in pursuit of that person. If the “fetcher” turns around and no one has advanced, you must walk one step further away from the pool. If you are caught, you “get it”.

The alligator

This game is for children who can swim, since you have to use the deep end of the pool. One plays the role of an alligator and swims through the pool along the part closest to the wall. The rest are placed outside the pool. The one who “has it left” must shout “alligator” and point at someone. The person pointed at must jump into the pool, swim to the opposite side and get out of the pool without being hit by the alligator. If he catches you, you will be an alligator too. So the game continues one at a time until one of the players has never been hit.

We must not forget when we have a pool at home to have a series of precautions. When you finish the game the pool can be closed with the cover to prevent falls of children or animals, a mechanism that is very easy if we also have an automatic cover. The pool covers are the easy and comfortable solution to gain in security for you, your children and your pets being able to support the weight of several people at the same time.
