Educational Pool Games for Back to School

Now that the kids have been back to school for a little while we thought we would share some fun pool games you can play with them to help them become stronger in some of the skills they are learning in school.  

Here are some fun educational games to play in the pool.  

  • Word Hunt 
Buy a couple of packs of sponges and write random letters on each one with a large permanent marker. To be able to create more letters you can cut the sponges down to smaller sizes if you wish. Have your kid(s) grab a specific number of sponges after you say go. You can play a second way by having them grab as many sponges as they can in a certain time period. When they have all of their sponges, see how many words they can create.  

  • Pool Noodle Counting 
This can be a fun math game for younger kids. Purchase a pool noodle and cut it into ten equal rings. Write the numbers from one through ten on each ring, you can buy more noodles and write more numbers if you wish. Throw the rings in the pool and have your kids collect and put numbers in order, count by twos, by threes, find two numbers that add up to a number you call out, etc.  

  • Treasure Hunt 
Grab a handful or two of spare change and throw it in the pool. Tell your kids they can keep all of the money they find if they add it up themselves and get the right amount. Change is a great way to count by fives, tens, twenty-fives, and of course ones.  

  • Whirlpool/Wavepool 
This is a game best played with several people. Kids love how they can generate enough power to change the flow of the water in the pool. Smaller pools are easier to accomplish the task.  

-Whirlpool: have everyone circle around the outside edge of the pool in the same direction for at least three or four minutes. With enough people this will cause a current that creates a water tornado in the middle and sort of carries everyone along with the current.  
-Wavepool: this works really well with boogie boards, but can also be accomplished by just moving your arms back and forth just under the water’s surface without breaking the surface tension.  

  • Boat Race 
Have each kid create their own boat that floats and line them up in the pool. Give every boat builder a straw and see who can sail their boat from end of the pool to the other by blowing through the straw to push the boat. It’s a fun science lesson.
