5 Fun Trampoline Games For Kids

The truth is, trampolining is more than just an activity. In fact, it provides 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. 

5 Fun games to try

1.  Poison Ball

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 (such as our Springfree basketball that comes with the Hoop) that won’t hurt your players if they are ‘tagged’.

The player uses the trampoline space to freely roam while other players outside the trampoline and throw the ball into the jumping zone. The player inside the trampoline pretends the balls are poison while trying to dodge them. If the player inside gets touched by the ball mid-air, he or she is out and must sit out the next round.

2.    Anything You Can Do  

Objective: Get Competitive!

A fantastic game to play with competitive types, ‘Anything you can do’ encourages the improvement 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 even in the most easy going jumpers, so keep it safe with one player at a time!

3.    Memory Bounce

Objective: Improve Memory and Have Fun!

The game starts off with one player doing a move on the trampoline. The next player to follow must repeat the first move and then add another. The third player must repeat the first two moves and then add a different move and so on. If someone gets a sequence wrong, that player is out of the game. The last person standing is declared the winner.

 4.    Cloud Gazers

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 imagine what animal or object it might look like.

 5.     Tag your Tramp

The trampoline mat is a great surface for drawing and the Springfree mat holds chalk well, so get your kids to create their dream masterpiece on the mat.

Or create little shapes which they have to jump on to get points!

There really is no better way to provide your family with a fun, innovative and energetic way to spend their time.
