Trampoline Games for Teenagers that Moms Never Want to Hear About

Here are some games that teenage boys love to play and worrisome parents that heard to many horror stories hate to hear about. All of these games I can assure you are quite fun, and many do require a degree of athleticism.

Jackpot is my favorite trampoline game of all time. Also, as a plus the rules are quite simple. This is just like the normal game of jackpot, but the twist is it is on a trampoline. To play jackpot you need a ball, a foot ball is the best one to use. It is the best to use because when it is on the trampoline who knows where it will go. One player is "it". This can be decided through the fairest way possible. Last person to say "NOT IT". In the very likely possibility of a tie. Rock paper scissors will decide the loser. Then get as many fearless people as you can on the trampoline. This game works best with three to four people on the trampoline while one person is it. Then the person who is it will throw the ball in the air so that the people on the trampoline are able to catch it or pick it up. While he throws the ball he will yell out a number, ie 100. Who ever gets the ball, gets 100 points. The first player to get 1000 points wins. Now that you know how to play here are the rules. There is no biting, scratching, or hitting people in the face or below the belt. No eye gouging or fish hooking. You cannot bring watches, rings, or anything that could give you an advantage over another player. No shoes, socks are optional. Pushing is allowed, it is even a little encouraged. If you are pushed off the trampoline, just get back on. If you have to "catch your breath" it is ok. You can keep your score until the next round. The winner gets to throw the ball next and earn a well deserved break. The ball must be recovered on the trampoline or in the air. If it touches the ground. Then the points are lost. You may dive off the trampoline and catch the ball, if you do this, you win. The person who through the ball decides if it was a dive, or if you caught it and then jumped off. There are many variations to this game and many ways to keep it fun.

Blind Man's Bluff No, this is not playing poker. The person that is it is the "Blind Man" and he must try to tag the other players. The "Bluff" is the edge of the trampoline, think like its a cliff. For the Blind Man's safety he cannot stand up, he must find the other players my feeling them move on the trampoline. Everyone must not touch the ground at all. If they fall off, they are it now. There are so many techniques to find someone it is amazing and tons of fun.

Dodgeball Once again I find that a foot ball fits the need. One to two people are on the ground. Two-four people are on the trampoline. The people on the ground try to throw the ball at the people on the trampoline. If they are hit, they switch. Simple. If the ball is caught, Then the player on the trampoline can be obnoxious and throw the ball away from the people on the ground. However, he may become "targeted". There are so many nearmisses it is exciting. If a ball goes over the fence, then the person who last touched it must go get it. This is an every-man-for-himself game. So players are not at fault for dodging the ball at all costs necessary

Tag This may sound innocent enough at first, but as you will find out, there is a chance of someone saying "ow". They will be able to walk away though. Every one is it at once, four people is a good number. If some one taps you on the top of the head, then you are out. Simple, it sounds boring, but it really isnt. Everyone is jumping as high as they can, trying to hit the top of your head. People lose their balance and fall (almost garunteed to be tagged). Then alliances are formed and broken. This game is really quite fun.

Last Man Standing The title explains the game really. Get some people on the trampoline. Take them down anyway you can, with out falling over yourself. An alternative way that is a lot more exciting is to be the last one left on the trampoline. Yes, that means to lose, you have to fall off, be pushed off, or realized your about to fall and jump off. This game is incredible.

I hope you all will atleast try these games once, they are not as bad as the sound. Moms, don't hate me. Kids, don't tell your moms where to find me. Have fun.
