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!"
