Rope off one section of the swimming pool. Each player will be given one beach ball to balance themselves on with their arms hugging the ball and locked. All players will do this inside of the roped off area. On go, the players will swim around in this position trying to push others players against any rope or wall of the pool. If any player touches a rope or wall, looses his balance or uses his arms, they are out of the game. They cannot use their feet to kick other players.

Previous Games of The Month
3-Ball
Required: Fun Gripper FlingSock, Fun Gripper Soccer Ball, Fun Gripper Football
Players: Small to medium groups
Category: Ball Games |
|
You use a FlingSock, a Fun Gripper Soccer Ball and a Fun Gripper Football. The game is played like baseball, only you have 3 batters at one time. Simultaneously, one will kick the soccer ball, another will throw or kick the football, and the 3rd batter will throw the FlingSock. To get a batter "out" you have to catch the ball/sock in the air. Otherwise the runners keep running until all the balls are in from the outfield and returned to a bucket at home plate. Once all balls/socks are in, play stops.
Players caught between bases can be counted as an "out" or sent back to the last base touched.
