  • Space hopper
  • Exercise ball
  • Jumping castle
  • Bouncing like Tigger

  • Soccer ball
  • Basketball
  • Baseball
  • Softball
  • Tennis ball
  • Dodge ball
  • Hacky Sack
  • Golf ball

Ball on bat bouncing:
  • Cricket ball and bat
  • Tennis ball and racquet
  • Golf Ball on a golf club (you must tell us if you get more than one bounce - seems impossible!)
  • Ping Pong Ball on paddle

 

Multi-Bouncing:
  • Bounce two balls at once
  • Bounce on a trampoline while bouncing a ballA pogo stick perhaps? 

 

Big Bounce Challenge: ‘Kids can Bounce’
  • Show your school teachers that kids can bounce! Speak to your teacher or school principal and arrange a bouncing challenge, maybe a race or time challenge. For example school children can race the principal on a Space Hopper. You can choose to hold a fundraising event to help you  and your school to raise the funds needed to get your challenge underway.
    Here's some ideas:
  • Principal vs students
  • Team captain against captain (nothing like a bit of inter school rivalry!!)
  • Sports Teachers v Music Teachers 
  • Teacher v Principal

 

Team Bounce:
  • Get a group of friends together and bounce at the same time. Even better, if you are part of a sports club, try and get team members on board and bounce with them.

 

P.E. Bounce:
  • Physical Education (P.E) is everyone’s favourite class. So why not combine your favourite class with your favourite fundraising event? Speak with your P.E teacher and ask if just for one week, each class you undertake could be related to The Big Bounce, with each bounce in the class counting towards achieving your Big Bounce total.
    Here's an idea: Try 'Space Hopper Soccer'!! Purchase a number of space hoppers and set up a large soccer field either indoors or out. Then once two teams have been divided up, play a game of soccer while bouncing on space hoppers. Money can be raised per goal. SOOO much fun and way too much laughter involved!!

 

Be Safe!

Although The Big Bounce is a fun event, there is a serious side to bouncing (seriously there is!). When participating in The Big Bounce it is important to have fun, but ensure you don't go over board and injure yourself. So when considering your Bounce style, please consider all risks and although we want everyone to bounce, most importantly we want everyone to be safe! 

 

Now you've got your bouncing style sorted, why not think about some fundraising ideas to get going and your friends fundraising for you!
