GET EVERYONE INVOLVED!!!

Beginner Level Games

________________________________________
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!!
___________________________________
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-
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
When you yell "green light", everyone bounces. When you yell "red light" everyone
freezes.

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.

Intermediate Level Games

Last Bounce Out
This is a great way to rotate children in and out of the moonwalk. It's similar to
musical chiars. Play some music or just clap your hands while the kids bounce on
their rear then back to their feet. Suddenly stop the music or stop clapping. Anyone
who bounces after the music or clapping ends is "out" and gets out of the moonwalk
and the next player(s) get in.
________________________________________
The Lost River
The floor of your moonwalk is divided into stripes- designate one stripe as the "Lost
River". Players must jump over the stripe but not touch it. Anyone who touches or
falls into the river is out. Change which stripe is the lost river every few minutes.
________________________________________
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 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.

This one is good because it required minimal supervision and has most of the
children resting (and rolling around during the action).
________________________________________
Freeze Bounce Dancing
Play some music and have the kids bounce and dance, twisting and shaking. (You
might even want to play "Twist & Shout" or something similar.) When the music
turns off, everyone has to freeze until the music starts again. This is a hilarious
game and will have everyone giggling at the silly poses and falling over.

Bigger Kids Games

Capture the Flag Game
Get 2 or 4 colors of party streamers. Divide the children into 2 or 4 teams. Each
team guards a corner pillar. (For 2 teams, have them guard opposite pillars.)

Write each team's color on a sticky note and stick it on their pillar. This is their flag.

Tear off about a foot of streamer and tuck the end of it into each child's waistband.

The goal is to grab the other team's flag (sticky note) while guarding your own. To
do this, get the other team "out" by grabbing their streamer and pulling it out. When
your streamer is pulled, you have to get out of the moonwalk.

The winning team is the one that captures all the flags (sticky notes). The winning
player is the one who captures the most streamers!
________________________________________
Kids Sequence Game
Have one kid do a move, such as hopping on one leg. Then everyone repeats the
move. The next kid does the first kid's move, then adds one of his own. 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.

Please play these games at your own risk. Children bouncing in
an inflatable moonwalk should be supervised by a responsible
adult at all times. It's more fun when Mom and Dad are involved in
the playtime!
