      I thought that it would be fun to start taking my kids to the local pool so that they can get some experience with swimming. The other day we started playing this game that we made up, and so I thought that it would be cool to look up some other cool game ideas. I loved this list, especially the swimming pool scrabble. Thanks for sharing some of these ideas with me!
