7 Games Kids Can Play Inside A Bounce House

Bounce houses, also known as inflatable castles or bouncy castles, have become a popular attraction at children’s parties, fairs, and events. These inflatable structures are designed to provide a safe and fun space for kids to jump, bounce, and play. While traditional bounce houses often come with built-in games and activities, there are plenty of other games that kids can play inside a commercial bounce house to keep them entertained.

  1. Red light, green light. This classic playground game can be easily adapted for play in a bounce house. One child is designated as the “traffic light” and stands at one end of the bounce house. The other children line up at the opposite end. When the traffic light says “green light,” the children can bounce towards the traffic light. When the traffic light says “red light,” the children must stop bouncing and freeze in place. If a child is caught moving on a red light, they must return to the starting line. The first child to reach the traffic light becomes the new traffic light.
  2. Bounce house basketball. Set up a small basketball hoop at one end of the bounce house and let the kids try to make baskets. For younger children, you can use a smaller ball and lower the hoop to make it easier to score.
  3. Simon says. This classic memory game is a great way to keep kids active and engaged in the bounce house. One child is designated as “Simon” and gives commands to the other children, such as “Simon says bounce on one foot” or “Simon says touch your toes.” The children must only follow the commands if they begin with “Simon says.” Any child who makes a mistake is out, and the last child remaining is the winner.
  4. Freeze dance. Play some upbeat music and let the kids bounce and dance freely in the bounce house. When the music stops, the kids must freeze in place. Any child caught moving when the music stops is out. The last child remaining is the winner.
  5. Red rover. This classic playground game is a great way to get kids moving and interacting in the bounce house. Two teams line up opposite each other, with each team holding hands to form a chain. One team calls out the name of a child on the other team, saying “Red rover, red rover, send (child’s name) on over.” The child whose name was called must then try to break through the chain by running and bouncing through it. If they are successful, they can choose one person from the opposing team to join their own. If they are not successful, they must join the opposing team. The game continues until one team has all of the players.
  6. Mother, may I? This classic children’s game is a great way to encourage kids to follow directions and listen to each other in the bounce house. One child is designated as the “mother” and stands at one end of the bounce house. The other children line up at the opposite end. The children must ask the mother’s permission to perform a specific action, such as “Mother, may I bounce on one foot?” The mother can either grant permission with a “Yes, you may” or deny it with a “No, you may not.” If the child successfully completes the action, they can take a step closer to the mother. If they make a mistake, they must return to the starting line. The first child to reach the mother becomes the new mother.
  7. Follow the leader. One child is designated as the leader and the other children must follow their movements and actions in the bounce house. The leader can lead the group in different activities such as bouncing, crawling, or pretending to be animals. The leader can also change throughout the game, with the other children taking turns leading the group. This is a great way to encourage teamwork and creativity in the bounce house.
  8. Hot potato. This simple yet energetic game is perfect for play in a bounce house. All of the children gather in a circle and pass a ball or small object around as fast as they can. When the music stops, the child holding the ball is out. The game continues until there is only one child remaining, who is declared the winner.
  9. Treasure hunt. Hide small objects or treats around the bounce house and let the kids search for them. You can make it more challenging by providing clues or riddles for the children to solve in order to find the treasure.
  10. Bounce house obstacle course. Set up a series of challenges and obstacles for the kids to navigate through in the bounce house. This could include crawling through tunnels, bouncing over obstacles, and navigating through a series of cones or other markers. The first child to complete the course is the winner.

In conclusion, there are many different games that kids can play inside a commercial bounce house to keep them active, entertained, and engaged. These games can help promote teamwork, listening skills, and physical activity, making them a great addition to any children’s party or event. So, these are the games that kids can play inside a commercial bounce house to have unlimited fun.

Common Questions

Yes. Once we have set up your rental and inspected it, we leave it in your care to make sure it stays in good rentable condition. The only exception is normal wear and tear. You may purchase an additional damage waiver that will cover any unintended damage caused to our unit. See next question to learn more about the damage waiver.  Please read all of our contracts and literature to understand the importance of using our equipment with suggested rules and guidelines.

The damage waiver covers up to $2000 per contract in accidental damage of rental equipment. The damage waiver does NOT cover theft, vandalism, silly string, misuse and/or abuse. The damage waiver does NOT cover missing equipment. Jumping Jacks will bill for any and all missing equipment at new replacement cost.

It’s Simple! Pick out the inflatables that work best for your event & add it (them) to your cart. When you’ve made your selection begin the checkout process.  We take care of the rest from reservation and delivery to pick-up. 

No deposit is required to reserve however we do require a signature on your agreement before we schedule delivery. The balance is due before we set up for your event.

Our pricing is simple. Most items are priced for up to 3 days of rental time. 

Yes, please give us a call or email us to set up a time to meet.

Yes, we carry liability insurance above state requirements. We provide a copy for every event if requested.

Yes. To maintain high quality inflatables, please remove shoes before entering the jump space. This helps keep our inflatables clean and reduces wear.

Unfortunately, weather can be a challenge. Your safety is our primary concern. If unfavorable weather conditions, including rain, snow, and/or high winds, are in the immediate forecast our staff will contact you no later than 2 hours before your event. If an event cannot be moved inside, an alternative rental date can be discussed or a full refund can be given. All changes in rental times/dates must be made before the inflatables are delivered.

Staffing is available upon request & at an additional cost. Call us to find out more information. (Our rental prices do not include staffing.)

We typically connect one blower to a 15 amp circuit and two blowers to a 20 amp circuit. If the inflatables are farther than 100 feet from a power source, then we can provide a generator at an additional charge.

It takes about 30 to 45 minutes to set up a single inflatable and about 30 minutes to deflate and load in the trailer. This time frame varies on the quantity of inflatables.

All of our units are available on a first come, first serve basis. You may make reservations as late as the day before your rental. However, keep in mind that inflatable units are in high demand, especially during the warmer months of the year. Therefore, it would be best to make your reservation as soon as possible.

We clean and sanitize our inflatables regularly to ensure customer satisfaction. We thoroughly clean every rental every week and between every rental. If your child has a need for it to be extra clean, please let us know when you rent, and we’ll touch up on site.

In order for us to maintain the cleanliness of our units and to provide our customers with the best possible inflatable rentals, we deliver and set up the inflatables. This personalized customer service allows you to finish any last-minute party planning. We do have some items that are available for pick up. 

All water sprinklers should be turned off in the area where the inflatables will be set up. Also, please clear the area of all rocks, sticks or any other sharp objects. A 15 amp electrical outlet within 100 feet of each inflatable is required. We will be driving stakes in the ground so the possibility of hitting a shallow phone line or irrigation line is rare, but possible.  This will be the renters responsibility to repair. Please make us aware of any underground utilities that you think could be a concern and we will do our best to avoid these areas.

The space required to set up varies by unit. The sizes of the units are listed in the descriptions and please allow 2′ additional space on all sides of the unit.

Our inflatable units can be set up on just about any flat surface. We would prefer to set up in a grassy area.  The surface needs to be clear of any rocks, sticks or other sharp objects. If you’re not sure where to set it up, we can help you decide when we deliver your rental.

Local deliveries are $60 (within 20 miles of our warehouse).  Outside of that will start a mileage charge of $8.50 per mile one way. In most cases, we have to go out and come back twice, once for delivery and once for pick-up, making the cost $2.12/mile.  Please call with any special requests and we will be glad to assist! 

*With the ever-changing fuel prices, this rate may change before it is shown on this page.

We will arrive at your location at least 30 minutes before your stated event start time for weekday and special events and promptly set up your rentals. Some days this might need to be significantly earlier due to volume of rentals for the day. There will be no extra charge and you will still have the inflatable for the duration you paid for. We will give you a brief overview of rental operations to make sure you feel comfortable.

Depending on our pick up schedule for that day we will be there to load up at the end time of your event, or even a couple hours later than your event ends.  If your event space is rented, or for any other reason you need it removed by a certain time please make us aware if this time and we will do our best to make it happen.

If you have a weekend rental, we will contact you on the Thursday the week of to notify you of our delivery time on Friday. All weekend rentals will be picked up on Monday unless otherwise discussed. We begin pick up as early as 7am. Please try and have the unit inflated on Monday so we can inspect it and tear it down properly.

Due to our amazing customers, we are able to offer an amazing cancellation policy. If you need to cancel, we ask that you let us know before the morning of your delivery. If you’ve paid in advance, we’ll refund whatever has been paid. All we ask is communication. Please don’t wait till we are at your door step to let us know about your cancellation. We are able to offer this policy because our customers have communicated well with us the over the years and we want to provide the best service possible.

If on the day of the event you decide you would like to extend your event longer than what you have scheduled for, we are happy to try and make this work. Contact us as soon as possible. An additional fee may apply221
