4 Watery Ways to Keep Your Family Cool

Summer means trips to the beach, poolside weekends and lots and lots of popsicles. Keep cool and rinse off with these four watery activities designed for the whole family.

Water Fights

Whether you’re using squirt guns, water balloons or buckets, a water fight is a great way to chill out when the weather gets hot. Be sure to use a natural water source like a lake, stream or river — don’t waste water if you don’t have to!

Sand Drawings

Make the most of your beach vacation with a sand mural that everyone in the family can contribute to. Plan out a city, design an island, or simply decorate all of your names — take a picture and get it framed as an easy and cheap memento of your seaside adventures.

Pool Games

Chicken, Marco Polo and racing games are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to pool-based activities your whole family can enjoy. Just make sure to stay safe — anyone who isn’t a strong swimmer definitely needs a life jacket, floaties or other inflatable toys to keep them feeling confident during fun and games.

Fishing

Learn about where food comes from with a family fishing trip. It only takes a little bit of practice before you’re casting lines with the best of ‘em.

Water Worlds of Fun

Have fun with your whole family this summer. These four watery activities will keep you cool during hot and sunny summer days.
