Summer Games - Monster's Ball Bonanza

This is a great game for 4 or more kids to play in a swimming pool!  All you need is 3 or more beach balls. (Try to maintain a “3 balls” to “4 kids” ratio for this game. For example: 6 kids = 4 balls, 8 students = 6 balls etc.)

Make sure you have everyone except one child, called "the Monster," go to the same end of the pool. The Monster gets all the beach balls.

The objective is for the kids in the pool to make it to the other end of the pool without getting hit by the balls the Monster is throwing. On “go,” they must swim to the other end of the pool. If they choose to swim underwater, they must surface at least twice. This gives the Monster a fair chance as he/she throws balls at them.

Once the Monster throws all of the balls, he can't get them out of the pool until everyone gets to the other end of the pool. When the Monster hits one of the swimmers with a ball, they must get out of the pool and become a Monster in the next round, and help him/her in the next round. Play until there is only one child left in the pool, and that person is the winner.

Make this game even more exciting by playing at night with Swimways Light Up Beach Ball!
