trampoline games
Crack the Egg The child who is the “egg” sits in the middle of the tramp and holds their knees close to their chest with both arms. The other children jump and try to make the “egg” let go of their legs.
Snake Have one person move a jump rope back and forth over the surface of the trampoline. The other children try to jump over the jump rope without it touching them. Whoever gets touched becomes the person who moves the jump rope.
Sprinkler Fun Put a sprinkler under the center of the trampoline; turn it up so the water just touches the surface of the trampoline. Have your kids put on their bathing suits and sunscreen and enjoy getting wet.
Add-on All of the children sit on the pad in a row. The first child does a trick on the trampoline. This could be as simple as jumping three times, splitting their legs in the air, or more difficult such as a flip. You could not allow flips if all those participating cannot do them.
The second child does the first child’s trick, and then adds one of his or her own. The third child does the first and second trick and then adds his or her own. This continues down the line with each child adding a trick.
If a child forgets a trick or the order, they are out. The game continues until all but one child is out.
Seat Bounce Each child has to follow the pattern of bounce, seat drop (on their bottom), bounce, seat drop, etc. The first person to mess up the pattern loses the game.
Follow the Leader This game is great for young children. One person is the leader and everyone else has to copy what they do.
Bounce-A-Lot Have contests to see who can do the most seat drops in a row. OR Start with one seat drop, jump, then two seat drops, jump, then three seat drops, jump, and see if anyone can get to ten seat drops in a row.
