After the new wears off, kids sometimes get bored just jumping on the trampoline. Below are some Trampoline Game ideas to help bring the excitement back to jumping on the trampoline! Keep in mind adults and children can be injured using a trampoline. Parents should use extreme caution when allowing small children on a trampoline and the chance of injury rises with the number of people jumping on a trampoline. Safety nets are strongly recommended to reduce the chance of injury from falling off of a trampoline. DIRECTIONS Crack The Egg This game requires at least two players but never more than four big kids or five little kids, as too many people jumping could get dangerous. One person sits in the center of the trampoline, wrapping their arms around their legs and holding tight in an "egg" like shape. Other players jump around the "egg" and try to make them break their hold. When the "egg" cracks, it is the next person's turn. Water Balloon Jump This is a great Trampoline Game to cool off during the Summer! The game is simple, just fill water balloons and roll out on the trampoline. Then allow kids to jump on them to break them! To make things a little more slippery, place a water sprinkler under the trampoline and turn on while kids jump on the balloons.
Trampoline Camp-Out Setting up a small tent on a trampoline will have kids giggling all night with excitement. Add pillows and blankets and camping in the backyard has never been more fun!
Don't Drop The Ball This fun pool game is ideal for playing on trampoline. Using a beach ball or other light weight ball, players toss the ball back and forth trying not to drop it. To make the game harder, play with more than 6 people and more than one ball! Simon Says Played exactly the same as the traditional Simon Says, but adapted to the trampoline Follow The Leader With the leader jumping around the edges, the players follow the first player for a pre-determined set of time and then take turns being the leader.
Trampoline Olympics Who can do the most foward rolls? The most backward rolls? The most straddle jumps? The most combination jumps? You get the idea.
