Trampoline games are not only fun and good exercise, but they are a source for teaching many other skills as well. Teach matching skills and have fun at the same time with this trampoline game.
Sock Search
This game is for up to six children, if you have a large trampoline. It can be played on or off the trampoline. Playing it on the trampoline adds a little fun and difficulty. To begin, the children sit around the edge of the trampoline, pull off their socks, and throw them into the middle. One child is chosen as the bouncer. The bouncer mixes up the socks by bouncing in or around the pile a few times and then returns to his/her seat. When the bouncer yells, “go,” all children scramble to find their pair of socks and put them on. The first person who gets his/her socks on becomes the bouncer in the next round.
Variation 1: To make things harder, you can add a few “unclaimed” socks into the pile. This is a great game for preschoolers to learn matching skills.
Variation 2: With four to six players, you can divide up into teams. In this version, entire teams must find their socks before anyone is declared the winner. This version best because it encourages teamwork and no one wins or loses alone.
