One of the best parts about any vacation is staying in a hotel, particularly for families with children. The idea of a new environment just ratchets up the excitement level of the trip; and, when you book a hotel with a pool, it adds a whole new avenue for fun. On your next family vacation, don’t just spend time in the hotel suites. Instead, head on down to the pool and enjoy these fun, family-friendly pool games everyone will enjoy.

Fun Hotel Pool Games for the Entire Family

1. Marco Polo

A tried and true classic, Marco Polo is great because it doesn’t require any additional toys. Simply have everyone get into the pool, and pick one person to be “it.” That person must then close their eyes and try to tag another player, but to do so, he or she must yell out “Marco,” at which point everyone else shouts back “Polo” to give away their location.

2. Submarine Races

Another easy game to play, submarine races task the participants with swimming from one side of the pool to the other with one breathe. The winner can be decided on who gets to the other side first or whoever gets the furthest before coming up for air. Not only is it fun, but it also helps make children better swimmers.

3. Sharks & Minnows

Similar to Marco Polo, the objective of this game is for one person to be the shark, and everyone else are the minnows. The goal is for the minnows to get from one side of the hotel pool to the other without getting tagged. The big difference here, though, is the shark doesn’t have to shut their eyes, which makes it more difficult for the rest of the participants.
