It is undeniably fun to own a trampoline. Not only does it present health benefits for users because of the exercises it provides, it also provides a special opportunity to have lots of fun. Unfortunately, most trampoline owners are simply content with jumping up and down on the trampoline. This may get boring after a while, especially for kids who have low attention spans. What you would need to do is to play some trampoline games!

Before that, please keep in mind some important safety reminders. First, make sure that the trampoline is at least 10 feet in diameter (if circular) or 9x9 (if square). It is important because you would need as much space as possible to ensure that there will be no mid-air collisions. Furthermore, invest in a trampoline enclosure but if you can't for the moment, try to get unused bed foam and scatter it around (on the ground) the trampoline. For kids, wearing helmets and pads will also be better.

Now for the fun part! Here are the best trampoline games:

Crack the Egg - the child who is the "egg" sits in the middle of the trampoline and holds their knees close to their chest with both arms. The other children (max of 2-3) jump and try to make the "egg" let go of their legs. Sprinkler Fun - put a sprinkler under the center of the trampoline (make sure that the mat is weatherproof!) then turn It up so the water just touches the surface of the trampoline. Have the kids put on their bathing suits and sunscreen and enjoy getting wet! Crossfire - This is a fun modification of dodge ball. Two people are up on the trampoline while the rest of the team is on the ground around the trampoline. A soft ball is thrown at the 2 people on the trampoline from the people on the ground. If they hit that person with the ball, they switch positions and the person they hit then goes to the ground. (Play with a maximum of 2 people on the trampoline only and be extra careful because you would have to take down the enclosure because of this.) Old School Basketball - Set up a basketball ring beside the trampoline and try to score as many points possible against your opponent. Make sure that the ring is only a little bit higher than the enclosure. Also, assign a spotter to get the ball when it goes outside of the enclosure. Again, max of 2 jumpers only to ensure safety.
