A rebounding trampoline, also known as a mini-trampoline, is a great way to get in shape for adults, but it can also be great fun for kids. Although most kids would rather have one of those giant enclosed trampolines in their backyards, itas much easier for parents to fit a rebounding trampoline into their budgets. Here are some fun games for your trampoline kid and his or her friends to enjoy.

In the game of Snake, two kids on opposite sides of the trampoline wiggle a jump rope like a snake over the surface of the trampoline while a third child tries to jump on the trampoline without getting abit.a When the child who is doing the jumping touches the rope, he changes places with one of the other children. If the kids are concerned about naming a winner, they can count the number of jumps each child is able to make without touching the asnake.a The highest count wins, of course.

Follow the Leader combines jumping on a trampoline with the traditional Follow the Leader game. The ‘leader’ begins by doing a series of jumps or tricks on the trampoline, which each child in the line must then repeat. A child who misses something in the series is out. You can choose the next leader in one of two ways. The first choice is for the game to continue with the same leader until only one child is left to be the next leader. Or, once every child has had one turn, the leader could pick a new leader from among the children who remain ‘in.’

Another game that can be played on the rebounding trampoline is Add On. In this game, the first person in line does a jump or trick. The next person does the same jump as the first, and then adds on another jump or trick of his own. The players continue to take turns, each adding one thing to the sequence. If anyone misses a jump or does something out of order, he is out. The last one remaining in the game is the winner!

You can also have contests on the trampoline to see who can do a certain move the most times in a row without messing up. Whichever participant does the best is the winner. The winner can then choose the next move to use for the game.

A variation of the above game is for each player to take turns doing a specific move. Anyone who messes up is out, and the rest of the participants continue taking turns until only one person remains. The last player remaining then selects the next move.

Another game you can play is to set a time limit and have the children do as many repetitions of a certain move as they can before the timer goes off. The child with the highest count gets to decide what kind of jump or trick is used for the next round.

These games are not only fun for children - They can be fun for adults as well! Adults will find that a miniature trampoline can be used for more than just a workout. A trampoline can be used for fun, to spend time with your children, and exercise at the same time!
