Fun Trampoline Games For Kids


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At Springfree, we know it¡¯s easy to recall great memories on a trampoline. Hours of breathless adventure in the shining sun, the elation of mastering the mid-air somersault, overcoming the fear of ¡®the back drop¡¯ or simply lying on your back, completely at ease, watching clouds pass by.

The truth is, trampolining is more than just an activity. In fact, they provide fantastic opportunities to develop confidence in your physical ability, giving kids a place to retreat to blow off steam and a feeling of fun and excitement that encourages self-esteem, imagination and adventure. 

Poison Ball

Players: 2+

The Objective: Don¡¯t touch the Ball!

An oldie but a goodie, Poison Ball is best played in accordance to the age, athletic ability and experience of the players. Choose a soft fabric ball that won¡¯t hurt your players if they are ¡®tagged¡¯.

The player uses the trampoline space to freely roam while other players lob the ball into the jumping zone. If the player makes contact with the ball while it¡¯s in mid air, they must turn over to the next player. 

SIT!

Players 2+

Objective: Don¡¯t be the last to sit!

Great for very small kids, the simplicity of this game makes it easy and hilarious for onlookers as well. Simply gather 2 plus players into the trampoline zone, and start the game at standing position. Bouncing together gently, a leader is appointed and must call out ¡°One! Two! Three! SIT! ¡° On the ¡®sit¡¯ command, players fall to a sitting position. The last to sit loses their turn.

Power Shower

Players 2+

Objective: Dodge the sprinkle from the Sprinkler

One of the favourites again for very young children out in the garden. The aim is to try and get as close to the sprinkler spray as they can without getting wet. Creative manoeuvring  around the spray. The person who gets wet first is out, the driest person at the end is the winner. 

Anything You Can Do

Players 2+

Objective: Get Competitive!

A fantastic game to play with especially competitive types, ¡®Anything you can do¡¯ encourages betterment of physical ability and a real challenge on the jumping zone. The aim is to show off your best routines and then have your opponent do a better job of them. WARNING: This highly addictive game can bring out the competitive side in even the most easy going jumpers, so keep it safe with one player at a time!

Cloud Gazers

Players 1+

Objective: Relax!

Perfect for single players, Cloud Gazing was the favourite of many, requiring little to no mobility, a few clouds and just a little imagination. Simply lie on your back and enjoy the gentle waving bounce of your trampoline, spread out on the jumping zone, looking up at the sky. When a cloud passes over, try and make out a shape, or image it might look alike to.

There are so many fantastic games you can play on a trampoline. When limited only by your imagination, you can go on to create games you love or recall activities you used to play as a child on your own trampoline. There really is no better way to provide your family with a fun, innovative and energetic way to spend their time. When modern games include cords, cables and too much time inside away from the sun and fun, a trampoline can be your best purchase to date, giving your kids endless time to develop their confidence and challenge their physical limits.

 

Unfortunately, there was little pleasure without pain when it came to trampolines of long ago. The joy of ¡®jumping on the tramp¡¯ came with its costs, as many of us remember. Responsible for injuries sustained by kids coming into contact (often mid air) with the heavy cast iron frame and springs that gave trampolines of the past their elastic bounce, many trampoline models were eventually deemed unsafe. Thankfully as a parent, you can ensure an injury-free experience on our trampolines. After careful consideration, the fun reputation of our backyard behemoth was saved, thanks to the innovative remodelling undertaken by Springfree Trampolines.

 

Whatever your preference in games, know that Springfree trampolines provide the safest and most relied upon trampolines to be enjoyed by your family. All over the world, our state of the art trampolines continue to be acknowledged as the safest, most fun and adventurous way to jump and bounce, twist and turn the day away.
