Bouncy Fun for Little Kids
Games to get everyone involved!
These ideas should add some fun to your child's party!
Please play these games at your own risk. Children bouncing in an inflatable moonwalk should be supervised by a responsible adult at all times. Remember it's more fun when Mom and Dad are involved in the playtime!
Bounce Like a... Game
Bounce Like a... Game
Tell the children that every time you count 1-2-3 then yell out an animal, they have to jump like that animal.
Try frog, kangaroo, rabbit, then see what happens when you call out lizard, bird, elephant, fish and snail!!
The Giggle Game
The Giggle Game
Have one child lie down in one corner of the moon walk, then have the next child lay down at right angles to the first child with his/her head on the first child's stomach. Have a third child lay down with his/her head on the second child's stomach. Keep on until everyone is lying down. Then have the first child say "HA". This will cause the second child to start laughing then the third, then so on.
You may have played this one before, but not in a moon walk!
Balloon Fun
Balloon Fun
Grab some balloons and toss them in the moonwalk with the children. The can bounce with them and toss them in the air.
Tumble Races
Tumble Races
Have the children take turns with this one.
Line up 4 children on one side of the moon walk and when you say "GO" they somersault their way to the other side, touch the wall (or net) and then lay down and roll back to the other side.
Make sure the somersaults are on the floor and NOT in the air.
Red Light / Green Light
Red Light / Green Light
When you yell "green light", everyone bounces. When you yell "red light" everyone freezes.
Simon Says
Simon Says
You've played it before, but not in a moonwalk! This is a fun way to rotate kids when you have a large party. Try the following commands:
- Jump as high as you can
- Bounce like a cannonball (curl up in the air and bounce on your behind, all rolled up)
- Bounce on your rear
- Bounce on your knees
- Freeze!
- Roll Around
- Do a split in the air
- Jump with your arms over your head
- Add your own!
Anyone who does something Simon didn't say is out and gets out of the moonwalk and the next player comes in.
