This inflatable pool game immediately brought a familiar phone game to mind.
There are little pigs and birds, the birds fly through the air, and you aim to knock over the pigs.
Angry Birds—that’s the comparison that keeps popping into my head.
But this version is played in the pool: you stand or float in the water and toss a ball to try to topple inflatable penguins.
I could play this all afternoon. I love pool time, and I’m a little competitive—hand me a game and I’m in. Bring it on.
The set includes eight inflatable iceberg pieces, including penguins, so you can assemble different structures in the water. One player tries to knock only the penguins down with the provided balls—easier said than done.
BUILD BIG: Inflatable pieces as large as 30 inches stack up into designs over 2 feet high

You can purchase the Direct Stack ’n Splash Penguins Floating Pool Game for around $45 on Amazon, which often qualifies for free shipping. It’s a fun, family-friendly pool addition that’s easy to set up and entertaining for a range of ages.
If you’re stocking up for a day of pool play, consider something comfy to relax on afterward—a large bean bag or loungy chair makes a nice reward after a few rounds of competitive splashing.
