Activities

1. Bouncing Fun: Practice basic bouncing up and down on the trampoline. Try to jump as high as you can!

2. Knee Tucks: Jump and tuck your knees to your chest while in the air. This is a fun way to work on coordination.

Talking Points

• Remember to always bounce in the center of the trampoline. This keeps you safe and helps you jump higher. Say: "Stay in the middle to bounce high!"
• Keep your arms out to the sides for balance while jumping. Say: "Arms out wide for balance!"
• Practice bending your knees when you land to absorb the impact. Say: "Bend your knees when you land to be gentle on your body!"
• Have fun and try different jumps like tucks and star jumps. Say: "Jump, tuck, and star - have fun and go far!"
