Using surgical gloves that can be purchased from a drug store, activate a glow stick and place it in the glove. Blow up the gloves to fill with air and tie the end as you would with a balloon. Place them in the pool and let them float! Play with different colored glow sticks to change the effect.
Floating Jack-o-Lanterns
Using jack-o-lanterns from the dollar store, create a fun and cool effect. Place glow sticks in the bottom of the jack-o-lantern and let them float along.

Frighten your party-goers with a scary yet humorous skeleton pool guest. All you need is an inflatable pool tube and plastic skeleton. Add a wig and bathing suit for a spectacular silly spook. Enhance the look of the pool by lining the border of the pool with jack-o-lantern luminaries.
As always, pool safety is extremely important when enjoying your backyard, especially at night. Whether there are children, adults, or both at the party, make sure to remove any potential trip or fall hazards. Designate several party-goers to take turns watching the pool to prevent any accidents going unseen. Make sure to have a safety plan in place.
