How to plan my soon to be 12 year olds pool party?

Question

My 11 year old son wants a pool party. We have an inground pool, and i totally agreed. We called all his friends to make sure they can come and swim. There are 4 people coming,and all 4 are sleeping over. I need some games to play in the pool, I already bought foam footballs to play with. I need some snack ideas, dinner ideas, and afterwards what they can do so they're not completely bored.

Answer 1

At his age, they really can entertain themselves.  They don't really need direction on how to have fun at this point.  Snacks?  Chips and pretzels.  Dinner?  Pizza

Rent some movies for the nighttime.

Answer 2

idk go shopping lol

Answer 3

Ok. Here is a fake schedule because I have got to organize my thoughts or i will just keep repeating myself.

say the kids come at 6.

6- just have some fun in the pool

7- start realy races and find a way for all the children to play even though there is an odd number. They should swim with a ball in their hand they write with but put that hand behind their back. swim to the other side tap the edge and leave the ball. swim back to other side on their backs (only looking to see where they are going.

7:30- eat dinner

8:00- play in the pool. Have them make up some games.

9:00- swim

9:30- get out and watch a movie and see if they sleep if not play some video games or something and by 12 if they arent asleep, watch another movie. (you might want to get 3!)

for snacks. Set up a table with chips, pretzels, and candy or

something else sweet. You want sweet, salty, and chips. Get dr.pepper, sprite, juice, and maybe coke.

for dinner- if they all eat meat, make steak or ribs just to do something a little different. make macaroni and some vegetable they all like. Then have the cake or cupcakes. If

you want something cool you can make cupcakes in ice cream cones the same way you make regular cupcakes but you put them in icecream cones instead. cook on the temp the box says.

for brakfast, make eggs or fench toast or cinammon toast

hashbrowns and some sausage or bacon

have some games out for them to play too.

This should help!, as for the snacks, put fruits, veggies, cheetos, doritos, cakes, cookies, and brownies in the table. You can order pizza too.

Answer 5

well boys are boys, there will be body slams in the pool, cannon balls, things like that, i think they will be fine in the pool, maybe you can get a floating basketball hoop, goggles, diving rings, things like that,

snacks: sodas, chips, candy, some fresh fruit, grapes, watermelon, sandwhichs,

dinner: you could make or order pizza, or do a BBQ with hotdogs, hamburgers,

afterwards: maybe some games, or video games, rent some movies maybe if you have room you can do a camp out with a tent and that kind of thing.

sounds like a fun party, at least you don't have alot of kids coming 4 sounds like a good number.

Answer 6

i would do diving for money and have coins thrown in on the bottom of the pool.  have a belly flop contest.  for snacks i would make those sticks that you barbecue outside...i forget what they call them LOL sorry... you cut the chicken up and steak and veggies and put it on the stick...then a punch with sherbert icecream and orange koolaid and seven up.

Answer 7

you could have real fishing poles and attach a magnet and make some small floating toys that you can make magnet,jump through holla hoops,you can buy 4 of those water racing boats and have a race,out side of the pool they can have a water gun fight give each kid a different color of food coloring to put in there water gun then they can see who has shot each other the most by the color running down them.this works best with an old white t shirt.,as for food defiantly camping and cook out foods, like an other said camping in a tent for the night, make smores, when its dark they can play flash light tag, they run and hide and when you find someone you shine the flash light on them instead of tagging.  have fun
