Here’s some
ideas that will keep the children entertained in a bounce house moonwalk for hours! If you
have any other ideas for games, send us an email, and we will add it here!
Bounce
Like a ……
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
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.
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.
Tag Team Bounce Races
Have the children take turns with this one. Line up 4 children on each side of the
moon walk. Make sure there is ample room between each child so they don’t bump into
each other. When you say "GO" they bounce their way to the other side and
"tag" their partner. Their partner then bounces back to the other side.
Red
Light/Green Light
When you yell "green light", everyone bounces. When you yell "red
light" everyone freezes. Last one to freeze, has to get out. Yell "green
light" and everyone else starts bouncing again. Last one in the bounce house wins!
You can "up the ante" for this game by offering a prize for each winner. (the
prize idea was given by a Mom who had a difficult time getting the children to play this
game, because they didn't want to get out of the bouncer).
Red
Light, Green Light (variation)
Shout "Red Light" and everyone has to freeze. Shout "Green Light" and
everybody can jump again. While everyone is in "Red Light" mode, give them
instructions to follow when you yell "Green Light". Things to do:
Flag Tag
Get a roll of streamers and tear 1 foot lengths off of it. Tuck one end of each streamer
into each child's waistband then turn them loose! The goal is to collect as many other
children's streamers while protecting your own. When your streamer is pulled, you have to
get out (or sit down). The winner is the last child still wearing a streamer!
Number
Switch
Have the children number off. Make sure they remember their numbers! Then, have them
scramble and sit in a (big) circle. Have the birthday child stand in the middle of the
circle. The birthday child then calls out 2 numbers. The children with those two numbers
have to get up and trade spots while the birthday child tries to beat them to one of the
spots. The person left standing calls out 2 more numbers and tries to beat those children
to a seat.
Crab Kick
Have each child lean back and lower themselves until they are on all fours- arms back,
hands on the ground. Toss in a couple of balloons for them to kick around. See if anyone
can get their balloon to hit the ceiling!
Harder variation- anyone whose bottom touches the floor or falls, is out!
Simon
Says (Kids Sequence Game)
Have one kid do a move, such as bouncing on his/her bottom, then standing up again. Then
everyone repeats the move. The next kid does the first kid's move, then adds one of his
own, like bouncing on one leg three times. Everyone must then do the two moves together.
The third kid does the first two moves, then adds one of her own. Everyone must do all
three moves now. Anyone who forgets the order of the moves has to sit down. Last one to do
all the moves correctly wins! Make sure the moves are safe! No flips or aerial
somersaults.
Port and
Starboard
This is a memory and action game.
On the command (from the list below) the children have to do the appropriate action. After
a while, start removing the last player to comply, until only one remains.
