Trampoline Games
Why spend money taking the kids and their friends out to a bowling alley for a birthday party when they could have a blast on a trampoline or mini trampoline in your own back yard? You can entertain them for hours by coming up with trampoline games that can be played on an outdoor trampoline. Pick the ones that you think your kids will enjoy the most. Sprinkle some fun into an outdoor trampoline A sprinkler placed under the center of the round trampoline is a refreshing way to beat the summer heat. Just turn the water up so it barely touches underneath the trampoline and watch the kids giggle while getting wet. Snake is a game that requires one thing: a jump rope. The rope is moved back and forth on top of the rectangle trampoline by one person while others try to avoid touching it. The one who touches the rope changes places with the person on the ground. A trampoline game called add-on is basically like copy cat. A child on the trampoline performs a trick while the others sit in a row on the pad. The child at the head of the line then repeats the first trick and adds one of his or her own. Of course, the game gets more difficult as each child advances to the front of the line. Forgetting a trick or doing a trick out of order results in the child being taken out, and the trampoline game continues until just one player is left. |  |
Follow the leader
Young children will enjoy a game of follow the leader. One child is selected as the leader, and every other player copies the leader's trick.
Bounce-a-lot is designed to see who can do the most consecutive seat drops. Better yet, start with one seat drop, a jump, two seat drops, a jump, and so on. The player who gets to 10 in a row is declared the winner.
Crack the egg is another fun trampoline game for kids. One child plays the egg by holding the knees close to the chest with both arms while sitting in the middle of the octagon trampoline. The remaining players jump and try to make the player in the middle let go of his or her legs.
