Games Kids Can Play in a Bounce House

The wonderful thing about children is that their imagination is limitless. Kids can find a way to make anything fun using nothing more than their own capacity for fantasy.

Getting a bounce house rental for your next special event -- such as your child's birthday party, a block party, a church picnic, or any other celebration to which children will be invited -- is a great way to build excitement and fun for everybody.

But you can make the experience of playing in the bounce house rental even more fun for children by having them play creative games that requires them to use their imagination.

Here are a few ideas:

Moon Walk

Most kids today are much too young to remember the time the Apollo astronauts walked on the moon. But this historic event is referenced frequently in popular culture, so they probably at least know that the gravity on the moon is only a fraction of what it is here on Earth.

Invite children at your next special event to make believe they are walking on the surface of the moon. As astronauts, they can leap and bound inside the bounce house rental as if they were living in low gravity.

"Tag, You're It"

Another children's game that can provide kids with hours of distracted fun is "Tag, You're It".

One child is designated as being "It". That child must then tag another child in order to make them "It". When the new child is tagged, he or she must then try to tag somebody else and transfer being "It" to them -- while all the while the other children try to escape from being tagged.

Duck, Duck, Goose

All of the children sit in a circle except one, who walks around the circle tapping each child on the head or shoulder saying "Duck". But when the child instead says "Goose", the child who was tapped must jump up and chase the first child.

They are able to tag the next child before she can run around the complete circle and sit in the tagged child's seat, the original child must continue to be the tagger. But if the original child gets in the tagged child's seat without being tagged, then the new child must be one to begin the process all over again.

Many children's games are more fun when they are played in a bounce castle -- as long as kids use their imagination!
