With temperatures in San Diego set to soar, kids' pool party season must be right around the corner!

Make a splash this summer with these great pool party ideas for kids.

1. Photo Booth Backdrop

A quick and easy photo booth is a real winner when it comes to pool party ideas for kids.

Use a blue bed sheet for the backdrop and add in props such as sunglasses, beach balls and balloons for the kids to create memorable party snaps.

2. Treasure Hunt

Pool toys and games such as a treasure hunt are a great way to keep the kids entertained at a pool party. However, throwing coins and trinkets into the pool and letting the kids dive for treasure can mean that the strongest swimmer always wins.

Instead, keep it interesting with the rotten egg game. In this game, the eggs are numbered so that retrieving more eggs doesn't necessarily mean you win. And, one egg is labeled as 'rotten', which means whoever gets that egg loses all their points.

3. Taco Bar

The kids are bound to get hungry after all that splashing around.

Let them design their own tacos by creating a taco bar with a selection of fillings for them to choose. Lay out tortillas and a selection of ground and sliced meats, cheese, rice, beans, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.

4. Water Guns

Water gun games are a great way for kids to cool off if they're not confident in the water or if they're too young to swim unsupervised.

5. Mini Burgers

Kids won't want anything too heavy to eat while they're in and out of the pool. Mini burgers are a great way to keep their appetites satisfied without overdoing it.

6. Inflatables

These days no pool party is complete without an inflatable float for playing with and chilling on.

Depending on the theme of your pool party you could opt for a giant slice of pizza or you may prefer a flamingo or a unicorn. But, whatever inflatable you go for, the kids are sure to be fighting over it.

7. Limbo Contest

Give the kids a reason to get out of the pool with a limbo contest. Crank up the tunes and test which one of them can go the lowest!

8. Watermelon Ice Pops

For a sweet treat that's also healthy, offer up watermelon ice pops for dessert at your pool party.

To make them, simply slice a watermelon into triangles, stick the slices onto ice pop sticks and freeze. Not only are they way more refreshing than a slice of cake, they're also super easy to make and won't melt in the sun!

9. Disposable Underwater Cameras

What better way to remember an awesome pool party than with underwater photos of the big day?!

Handing out disposable underwater cameras as favors or prizes for games means that the kids can snap away in and out of the pool. And the best part is that no one has to worry about their phones or cameras getting ruined!
