14 Epic Pool Party Games for Your 4th of July Bash

It’s not a pool party without a couple of little-to-no-skill-needed outdoor games with family and friends. If you’re lucky enough to have a pool, game night is more than a time to catch up with friends, sip cocktails and get competitive — it’s a time to blow up some glowing pool floats, beat up your BFFs with a jousting game and treat your kids to a water balloon fight. Add a DIY twist to a classic game like croquet or go all out with an inflatable beer pong pool float that’ll really get the party started. Scroll down for 14 fun + unique games that will make your Fourth of July pool party (or any summer get-together!) the hottest bash on the block.

1. DIY Tropical Drink Piñata: Because nothing says “party” like a shower of candy and confetti. Kick off the party in style with a massive piñata that doubles as the coolest party decor ever. (via Studio DIY)

2. DIY Outdoor Bowling: Once the soda bottles are empty, line ’em up for a game of miniature bowling by the pool. Make the “alley” out of pool noodles and a yoga mat. (via Polka Dot Chair)

3. Modcloth Shake Your Cocktail Feathers Drink Float Set ($20): The most important part of any party is the drinks, obviously. Keep the cocktails afloat with mini flamingo and swan drink floaties.

4. Fredericks and Mae Playing Cards Deck ($13): Keep an ace up your sleeve when you pull out these colorful playing cards. An old-fashioned deck of cards gets way more fun when the cards are the colors of the rainbow.

5. Floating Beer Pong Table ($60): Beer + Pool = Winning. Take the beer pong table to the pool so you can stay cool while you practice your best shot. (via Skip’s Garage)

6. DIY Custom Corn Hole Game: This game should be mandatory at all outdoor festivities. It’s super easy to DIY your own boards and it’s so addicting, you’ll be winning at your party even if you’re losing. (via Brit + Co)

7. DIY Water Balloon Fight: Let’s be honest, water balloons aren’t just for the kiddos. “Kids” of all ages will love having a bucket of water balloons at the ready for sneaky attacks. (via The Sweetest Occasion)

8. Urban Outfitters Glow Ball Pool Float ($8): Light it up! Toss a bunch of these glowing balls into your pool and keep the party going when the sun goes down.

9. DIY Giant Lawn Matching Game: This game is perfect for the backyard and pool, and it’s made with cork tiles, so it’s totally reusable and portable. The tutorial includes printables, making it your easiest project of the entire season. (via Studio DIY)

10. Urban Outfitters Hot Dog Pool Joust Game ($35): If you’re lucky enough to have a pool, channel your favorite knight of the seven kingdoms with this inflatable jousting set. These hotdog floaties will foster some serious competition in party goers of all ages.

11. Pineapple Bowling: Skip the ugly bowling shoes and bowl in style using the season’s most fashionable fruit: pineapple! Spray paint them gold and let guests try to bowl them over. Winner gets a pińa colada? (via Style Me Pretty)

12. DIY Alice in Wonderland Croquet: Pink flamingos are practically essential for any pool party so why not put them to good use as croquet sticks. Red rose topiaries and a Queen of Hearts costume are optional. (via Home Depot)

13. Intex Pool Volleyball Game ($47): Forget beach volleyball — pool volleyball is where it’s at. The setup/cleanup is simple: Just inflate, play hard and deflate when you’re done.

14. DIY Flamingo Ring Toss: Ring toss just got a very adorable upgrade. Can you believe we made these out of pink plastic flamingos? These guys are cute enough to leave around the pool as decor when you’re not partying hard. (via Sugar & Cloth)

Classic patterns like stripes and toile, romantic silhouettes, and fancy flourishes like fringe and tassels have been beautifully making their way into interiors — and no one captures this dreamy aesthetic quite like celebrity interior designer and home stager Francesca Grace. The creative force behind Somme, a darling interior design shop located in LA’s Silverlake neighborhood, Francesca curates a world of European vintage glamour with a soulful, lived-in feel.

Find out more about the romantic design trend & get some cozy home decor inspiration below!

Gavin Carter

On a recent visit, B+C's VP of Content, Ali Ives, and I wandered into Somme and were instantly smitten. Imagine cottagecore with depth, where antique treasures meet bold, layered styling that feels both timeless and unexpected.

Francesca is a master at crafting vintage-inspired spaces with a distinct, modern POV. Here, she shares insights on her design philosophy, her latest collaborations, and her stunning transformation of a $24 million estate now on the market.

Gavin Carter

B+C: How would you define your aesthetic?

Francesca: I’d define my aesthetic as eclectic, nostalgic, and unexpected. It’s about mixing eras, textures and patterns in a way that feels curated and collected over time — like stepping into a space with history and soul.

Gavin Carter

B+C: How do you make a space feel one-of-a-kind?

Francesca: I love designing spaces that have depth and a bit of tension, whether it’s a balance of feminine and masculine, vintage and modern, or soft and bold. To make a space personal, I lean into unique, one-of-a-kind pieces — antiques, art with a story, textiles that feel lived-in. I want it to feel like someone’s life has unfolded there, not like a staged set.

Gavin Carter

B+C: What's the strangest or most surprising source of inspiration you've ever drawn from?

Francesca:I love wandering through European flea markets, where every object has a history, or getting lost in an old city and noticing the way time has shaped its architecture. Even something as simple as the tilework in a tiny café or the way laundry hangs between buildings can spark an idea. LA still influences me in the way it blends so many cultures and eras, but traveling pushes me to see design through a different lens — less polished, more lived-in, always with a story to tell.

Gavin Carter

B+C: What is your design pet-peeve?

Francesca: Anything that feels too sterile or overly "designed" with no personality. I’m also so over the idea that everything has to be beige to be timeless — give me color, give me texture, give me something with character!

Gavin Carter

B+C: You recently staged and styled a 6-bed, 9-bath Spanish-Mediterranean Bel Air Estate that just hit the market for $24M. What were your design goals for this Bel Air project, which leans into the more neutral territory?

Francesca: Our goal was to use our furniture and décor to enhance the home’s Spanish-Mediterranean elegance while introducing a sense of modern livability. We wanted every piece to feel intentional — respecting the architecture while making the space feel fresh, inviting, and effortlessly luxurious.

Will Myers

Francesca: To achieve this, I partnered with home decor brand Olive Ateliers and leaned into organic textures and warm, neutral tones. Soft linen upholstery, sculptural wood accents, and vintage-inspired statement pieces brought depth and a sense of history, ensuring the interiors felt collected rather than staged.

Will Myers

Francesca: In spaces like the living and dining areas, we focused on balancing grandeur with intimacy — placing oversized, plush seating to emphasize comfort while layering in antique and contemporary elements to create visual intrigue. The use of ceramic vessels, textured textiles, and aged metals further complemented the home’s natural materials.

Will Myers

Francesca: For the bedrooms, we aimed for elevated serenity, incorporating soft, layered bedding and curated accent furniture to create a retreat-like atmosphere.

Will Myers

Francesca: Overall, the staging was designed to bridge the past and present, celebrating the home’s timeless craftsmanship while making it feel approachable and effortless for modern living.

Christopher Amitrano/CS8 Photography

B+C: You recently worked with designer Amr Samaha of Samaha Studio on his latest project, an eco-conscious ranchette in Beverly Hills. He said he pulled heavily from his Egyptian background, citing the mashrabiya-inspired front door as an example of the textures and tones of historic Cairo. "Every decision, from materials to layout, was made with the intention to tell a cohesive story," he said. How did you stage the home to complete the story?

Francesca: For the Beverly Hills project at 1300 Shadybrook Drive, our aim was to stage the home in a way that accentuated its contemporary architecture and designer fixtures while creating an inviting and aspirational atmosphere for potential buyers.

In the living room, we placed a plush, earth-toned seating arrangement to complement the home's incredible steel fireplace and built-in cabinetry. To add a little extra warmth and character to the living room I added these gorgeous Myrtle Accent Chairs from Arhaus that I felt really elevated the space.

Christopher Amitrano/CS8 Photography

Francesca: In the dining room I wanted it to feel really funky and eclectic so we added some really fun sculptural dining chairs from Neue Maison. We brought in some incredible art by CLEW and Kader Boly that really amplify the appeal of the home.

Christopher Amitrano/CS8 Photography

Francesca: For the bedrooms, we aimed to create serene retreats by using soft, layered bedding and understated decor while still infusing some pops of color. I wanted the bedrooms to provide a sense of luxury while still feeling like cozy and warm.

Christopher Amitrano/CS8 Photography

Francesca: Throughout the home, we utilized accessories such as ceramic vases, greenery, and area rugs to add depth and cohesion to the overall design. Our goal was to present a lifestyle that potential buyers could envision themselves enjoying, thereby enhancing the home's appeal.

Jason Kelce may not play for the Philadelphia Eagles anymore, but even after retiring from the team last year, he and his wife, Kylie Kelce, have definitely remained in the spotlight. While their very successful podcasts (Not Gonna Lieand New Heights) continue to grow by the day, so does their adorable family!

Kylie and Jason first met on Tinder in 2014, and they later tied the knot in 2018. Since then, they've welcomed three kids — all girls — into the world together. The fan-favorite couple is expecting their fourth child, and people are so excited for them! However, Jason and Kylie have faced backlash for one parenting decision: how they've decided to name each of their kids. Here's the deal!

Scroll to find out the controversial baby names Jason & Kylie Kelce keep picking out!

Not Gonna Lie/Youtube

With each of their daughters, Jason and Kylie Kelce have picked pretty gender-neutral names: Wyatt, Elliotte, and Bennett. For their fourth, Kylie detailed how she and Jason want to keep the gender-neutral trend going – not just to ensure the name fits their latest addition but also out of fairness to their other kids.

"We're doing a little crossover action. I feel like we have to lean a bit towards those sort of gender-neutral names for our fourth because we have Wyatt, Elliotte, [and] Bennett," she explained on Not Gonna Lie.

"So if we do a full commit to a girly name at this point, it would not sit well with the other three, I think. Eventually, they'll be like, 'Why did they get a cute girly name?'"

Call Her Daddy/Youtube

Yet, given how Not Gonna Lie started in December 2024, and Jason has been hosting New Heights with his brother, Travis Kelce, since 2022, plenty of eyes have been watching the couple's every move. And according to Kylie, certain fans haven't hesitated to criticize their baby name selections.

She recently appeared on Call Her Daddy, hosted by Alex Cooper, this February and opened up about some reasons why the public tends to hate on her. Kylie revealed how she and Jason received a ton of backlash following the announcement of all three of their children's names.

"We had that situation with Wyatt; our eldest is Wyatt. People are disturbed by the fact that we've named her Wyatt," Kylie detailed.

Not Gonna Lie/Youtube

Even so, she believes her daughter is "very much a Wyatt," and anyone who meets her daughter always agrees.

Additionally, Kylie shared how, when she was pregnant with Wyatt, people told her not to share her chosen baby name or else she'd "get reactions." But she didn't let that phase her.

"I'm like, 'I don't think you understand. I really don't care at that point.' If I've chosen, we're going with it," she recalled.

In true Kylie fashion, she even quipped about how perhaps her daughters will have an easier time as professionals in the future. After all, with gender-neutral names, Kylie joked that their "emails are going to be answered so fast."

It remains to be seen what baby name Kylie and Jason will pick for their fourth. Fans may just have to wait until her due date in the summer.
