  Play with Plastic Playing Cards

  If you really enjoy poker, blackjack or canasta, consider playing with plastic cards while in a hot tub. You may need to have a floating mat in the middle of the tub or a side table for shuffling the cards, but these cards are great for avid players. Just don't use regular playing cards unless you feel like replacing them afterwards You can also get your one of your favorite childhood games in waterproof form, Uno. These are 100% waterproof and clear. Incorporate it into an evening of fun with your kids and teach them the ins and outs of the game. It will quickly be one of their favorites, too. This game is well-suited for 2-4 people, which makes it worthwhile for smaller hot tubs.

There's no need to risk frostbite in order to enjoy your own private winter wonderland. Everything else may be frozen, but you'll stay toasty warm in the hot tub while enjoying the new fallen snow with the ones you love.

  Ping Pong Relay

  Spa Lifestyle This game is an absolute riot once you get it started and you need at least 4 people.

  What you need:

  • 17 or more ping-pong balls (you need an odd number)

  The object:

  • This is a team game where teams of two (guy and girl) compete against each other. The object of the game is to get the most ping pong balls into the "basket" as possible. Here's the catch – the "basket" is the swimsuit (top and bottom) of either you, or your team member, and whoever is retrieving the balls, can ONLY use their mouth. So, for instance, you would hold your suit open just enough for your team member to drop in the ping pong ball they just retrieved with their mouth.
  • It works best when one team has a guy as the "basket" and a girl retrieving, and the other team has the opposite setup.

  The Rules:

  • No one can touch the ping pong balls with their hands.
  • The "basket" team member can stretch open their suit to help, but that is all.
• 

  Suit Swap

  Hot Tub Lifestyle The object of this game is to randomly swap bathing suits with someone and not be last. This game is better with a big group. The more the better, and depending on the crowd, it can get wild!

  Here is what you will need:

  • Blindfolds for everyone.

  How it works:

  • Everyone puts on a blindfold so that no one can see. Then, all at once, everyone takes off their bathing suit and casts it in the middle.
  • Everyone then grabs for another suit AND changes seats at the same time. Once you have a new one on, call "Done" and take off your blindfold. Guys and girls suits are up for grabs for anyone.

  The Rules:

  • You can't hand your suit to someone else, you have to cast it away.
  • No "hoarding" or keeping more than one suit.
  • Guys can't keep tops.
