56 Fun Trampoline Games Your Kids Will Love

A trampoline is a great way to have fun with your friends and family.

Many backyard childhood memories include our trampoline. We spent hours playing on it, making up games, having dance concerts, or pretending we were power rangers – yes, I am of THAT generation; no judging!

Trampolines can be used for bouncing, jumping rope, flipping over onto your back or head-first into the air, walking on hands while bouncing, etc.

There is so much for our children to gain through active, whole-body play. Not only does active play promote fitness and physical development, but whole-body play can also promote cognitive development. Read more about the benefits of active play here!

There are many games that involve trampolines too!

Some of these games involve one person, some multiple.

There are trampoline games that include other resources such as balls or DIY shape cards.

Then there are so many games that your children are already playing, that can be taken into the trampoline!

These games may even inspire your children to make up their own games!
