This is slightly off-topic but I'm wondering if any of you have any fun pool game ideas for a large group pool party for 5th graders. I'm in charge of our class party games committee and have a few ideas but figured there would be lots of creativity here. We will be in the community pool (6 lane, 25 yard--deep end is around 8 ft.). Any ideas?
Thanks, all! Redbird--I assume the wet rag gets thrown to tag. Once you're tagged are you out? Do you use boards as shields? Not sure if the teachers will let me get away with this one but it sure sounds fun!
Yes, the wet rag is the tagging device. Rather than being "out" the tagged kid becomes "it" and has to tag someone else. You can also introduce additional rags if the crowd is larger, which increases the intensity and participation.
Back in the days before litigation, we would throw the rag at people as they went off the boards, as well, but perhaps that would be too risky for most public pool staff to stomach today!
