What you need: You need a swimming pool, a rope or net, and two baskets of lots of pool toys, such as noodles and soft-sided balls.

How to play: Divide the pool in half with a rope or net. Divide the children into two teams and have each team get in the pool -- one team on one side of the rope and the other team on the other side. Make sure each basket has the same number of pool toys. Dump the baskets of toys into the pool (one basket for one side and the other basket for the other side).

The rules: At the starting signal, each team will try to throw all of their pool toys into the opposing team's side. The object is to clear its side of the pool.

How to win: Whichever team has the least amount of pool toys in its side at the stopping signal wins.

What else you need to know: You can put a time limit of five to 10 minutes for this game.
