DEAD GIRL/DEAD BOY.... Someone lies down in the middle of the trampoline, and the other kids say a rhyme(i cant remember) like dead girl, dead girl come alive. And the person rises with eyes closed and tries to tag one of the other kids. Then they're it.

MOON COW.... Someone runs around another person with their eyes closed if the person with their eyes closed tags the other person they have to be the moon cow or the person with their eyes closed.

HOT POTATO... Four jumpers are on the trampoline. All players must be jumping at all times. A soft ball is thrown between players. Players must catch the ball. If they drop it, fail to catch it, or stop jumping to catch the ball they are out. Play continues until there is only one player left.

 P.I.G.... Players gather around the trampoline on the ground. One player goes to the middle of the trampoline and performs a trick. It could be a handstand, a bottom drop, a knee drop, or sommersault. The first player exits the trampoline and the next player waiting in line on the ground goes to the middle of the trampoline and performs the trick of the first player. If they are able to perform the trick, play continues down the line of players until someone is not able to perform the trick, or play comes back to the first player. If all players are able to correctly perform the trick down the line of players, then the second player in line will perform a trick. If a person fails to perform the trick, they receive a letter "P" and the player immediately behind them picks a new trick to perform. Play ends after a player has received all three letters to form "PIG."

CRACK THE EGG.... All players are up on the trampoline. One player is chosen to sit in the middle of the players who have formed a circle around her. The player in the middle sits with knees drawn to chest and arms around her knees. Players jump around her until she "cracks" or releases her arms from around her legs.

TELEPHONE...A variation of the old game. <A style="BORDER-BOTTOM: darkgreen 0.07em solid; PADDING-BOTTOM: 1px !important; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent !important; COLOR: darkgreen !important; FONT-SIZE: 100% !important; FONT-WEIGHT: normal !important; TEXT-DECORATION: underline !important" class=iAs target=_blank href="http://www.ehow.com/how_2281467_games-trampoline.html#" itxtdid="7621270" className="iAs">Children</A> line up around the edge of the trampoline. One person goes to the center of the trampoline and performs a trick. It could be a bottom drop, bouncing two or three times, or another type of trick. The next child in line goes to the center of the trampoline after the first person exits off. They then perform the first persons' trick, than add a trick of their own. The third person than enters the center of the trampoline and continues the cycle until someone is not able to remember the sequence correctly. They then are "out" and serve as a judge to watch the others and make sure they perform the sequences correctly. If a small group is playing, keep rotating through the group of players while adding new sequences.
