Was messing around in our pool this afternoon (as you do). I had bought a foam ball for our puppy but he started ripping bits off so I put it in the pool.



My name for the game : Pool Bowls or Boules.



What to do:



Stand on a line in your pool, squeeze as much air out of the bowl as possible so it only just floats. Throw it as far as possible under water, the winner is whoever gets it furthest before it pops to surface.



I know its daft but it kept me amused for a while.

Sounds like a great game.Do all the other competitors have to stand in the pool with you or wait on the side until it's their turn?

Mike. You need to put a patent on this game otherwise someone will copy it and make it better and probably make millions.

What about different coloured boules / bowls for different players. Perhaps pink for girls.

good idea No1Doyen (differnt colours) . To throw it under water, you throw it under arm towards the bottom of the pool.



I know its daft but I enjoyed it



Invented another game aswell but I'll let you know about that one at a later date ;-)

No1Doyen, just thinking, how could you patent such a cr*p game? hehe. What would I do? Sue anyone I see playing it?



Nice idea to make millions out of it but not practical my friend



(I know it was tongue in cheek, you taking the pi$$)

alright then ;-)



You get one of those long plastic snake things that everyone seems to have in their pool. Make it into a circle by taping the 2 ends together.



Have 3 of the above mentioned balls and from a distance toss them one at a time over head (like a cricket ball). Person who gets most thru the circle wins.



I must be easily entertained



(I think I should change my nickname to Mike and his cr@p games ;-)

here is an educational game for the kids , ( 1 ) get them to eat as many beans as possible compettiion (2 ) then get them to watch a short cartoon 15mins to half an hour then ask them to get into the pool, the game is called fart adder,



the object of the game is for each of the kids to fart under water the one who makes the must number of bubbles is the winner, this game can be played for several hours whilst the beans are still active, make sure they have plenty of sun block on before the game comences.
