10 fun and safe summer activities with a trampoline
A trampoline is more than just a spring-loaded platform for bouncing; it’s a hub of entertainment and fitness that sparks creativity and joy, especially during the endless days of summer. But did you know your trusty trampoline offers far more than just the traditional jump and bounce? Summer presents the perfect opportunity to discover the versatile nature of your trampoline, opening a world of fun and engaging activities.
Let’s explore 10 innovative ways to invigorate your family’s summer and get everyone moving with your trampoline!

The Balloon Challenge
Engage in an exciting round of the Balloon Challenge on your trampoline this summer. The objective of this game is to maintain a jump rhythm on the trampoline while avoiding contact with a floating balloon. The challenge level can be amplified by introducing additional balloons. Please note any popping of balloons results in immediate elimination. The game encourages agility, coordination and adds a playful, competitive element to your trampoline activities.
Trampoline Karaoke Extravaganza
Transform your trampoline into an open-air stage with our Trampoline Karaoke Extravaganza! As the spotlight shines, take turns delivering spellbinding renditions of your favourite songs. Amplify the fun by voting for a standout performer after each round. Remember, laughter is the best applause, so don’t be shy – add a dash of humour to your performance for bonus points. This activity is a wonderful way to encourage creativity, build confidence, and share a whole lot of laughs while bouncing to the beat.
Memory Bounce
Put your memory and agility to the test with Memory Bounce, an engaging and safe game of recall on the trampoline. Begin by having one participant perform a simple, safe move on the trampoline, such as a seated bounce. The subsequent participant must then mimic the initial move, adding an additional safe trick of their own.
This sequence continues, with each person replicating the previous participants’ maneuvers in the correct order, then contributing their own unique move. A participant is eliminated if they forget a move or perform it out of sequence. The challenge persists until only one memory master remains standing, or rather, bouncing!
You can bounce higher on VulyPlay’s 12ft trampolines – quality and excitement combined. It’s important to have quality and safe trampolines for these activities, so always choose a trusted brand that puts safety first.
Trampoline Hopscotch
Certainly, your trampoline has seen its fair share of chalk doodles. However, have you ever thought about using this medium to sketch a hopscotch grid on your trampoline mat? Introducing Trampoline Hopscotch, an imaginative twist on the traditional sidewalk game that adds a new level of bounce to each hop. This reinvented classic promises an exhilarating blend of fun and agility. Don’t wait another moment; seize the day and let the hopscotch adventure begin on your trampoline!
Story Time Elevated
Experience the enchantment of storytelling like never before with Story Time Elevated, right on your trampoline. This unique concept transforms your bouncing space into a magical nook where words and imaginations take flight. Adorn your trampoline with cosy pillows, soft blankets, and a tempting array of snacks to create a comfortable ambience. Now, all you need is a curated selection of enthralling books, and you’re all set for an afternoon of reading. This delightful trampoline activity offers a serene and captivating way to unwind, further enriching the timeless charm of storytime.
Constructing the Ultimate Hideout
Unleash your creativity by transforming your trampoline into an enthralling hideout. Utilise sheets and blankets to construct a secret clubhouse brimming with youthful charm and adventure. Once the foundation of your fortress is set, embellish your sanctuary with a tempting array of snacks and intriguing games. Bask in the comfort of your trampoline hideout, an idyllic space that promises endless entertainment and a memorable way to relish your summer day.
Starlit Cinema Experience
Immerse yourself in the cinematic magic under the stars with our Starlit Cinema Experience on your family trampoline. Perfect for those balmy summer evenings, assemble a plush oasis using a combination of soft cushions, cosy blankets, or snug sleeping bags right on the trampoline surface. Elevate your viewing experience by setting up a large laptop or a projector, utilising a pristine white sheet as your personal big screen. With a bowl of buttery popcorn at hand, gather your family and surrender to the enchantment of your favorite films, ensconced within the tranquillity of your backyard.
Elevated Picnic Extravaganza
Transform your trampoline into a whimsical space for an Elevated Picnic Extravaganza this summer! Shying away from the pesky critters on the ground, the trampoline lends itself to be an unbeatable venue for a delightful outdoor feast. Arrange a tantalising assortment of your favourite foods on a picnic blanket and relish an unforgettable family meal in the heart of nature. As a word of caution, we advise against the use of sharp cutlery on the trampoline and recommend maintaining a calm, non-bouncy environment while the food is being savoured.
Capturing Mid-Air Magic
Your trampoline isn’t just a fun accessory; it doubles as an inspiring photography prop. As your children embody their favourite superheroes, leaping and bounding with energetic kung-fu moves, stand by with your camera or smartphone. Capture their mid-air acrobatics and jubilant expressions as they soar against the backdrop of the sky. The photos will serve as cherished records of their lofty adventures, delivering delight each time they see how high they’ve jumped and the wild, uninhibited freedom of their flying hair.
Trampoline Sphere Frenzy
We’ve recognised that any trampoline possesses an inherent potential for entertainment. However, introducing vibrant balloons or numerous small balls into the mix elevates the joy to unparalleled heights. This simple addition manifests several exhilarating games from dodgeball-inspired contests to an amusing challenge of propelling the spheres beyond the trampoline enclosure with a mighty bounce.

![[AD] The sun has finally made an appearance and the boys have been making the most of it by spending it
in the garden.
They’re go-to is always football and they’ve been trying to improve their aim and accuracy with the new Messi Foldable Footlball goal from the #MessiTrainingSystem range.
I love the fact the goal is foldable, making it easy to store away when not in use. It is also lightweight so you can effortlessly pack it up and take it to the park or to a friend’s house.
The Messi Foldable Football Goal retails at £36 and can be purchased from @argos
