This article discusses the convenience of them, and the potential for different activities. A popular site at any party or celebration sit he presence of an inflatable construct. These often take on whimsical shapes, and can be enjoyed by people who want to have a good time bouncing in them.

Inflatable arenas The design of the inflatable arenas is part of the enjoyment of the experience. It is a simple design, which can be easily packed up and stored when necessary. Usually, these inflatable arenas are made out of a flexible and toughened rubber. This material is malleable enough to be inflated, but is buoyant enough to encourage bouncing. With the exception of sharp objects being put into the mix, most of these constructs are designed so that people who are bouncing on or in them cannot puncture through. This means that people can have fun and bounce around without fear of destroying the equipment. The equipment has different grades of material available. Most of the time, these constructs are used at children’s parties, since it is possible to fit quite a few kids inside. However, there are also more durable and heavy duty options that allow a few adults to bounce around and have fun inside them. Being able to bounce around in an inflatable object is a simple joy that any person of any age can take advantage of. Once people are inside the inflatable object, then they can start having fun bouncing around. There are several games that can be played inside, which are basic variants of trampoline games.

Safety The equipment in use in this situation has the distinct advantage of being very safe for the people inside, even if they are running and bouncing around. This is because they are completely walled in by flexible materials, which makes it so that they will not accidently go over the edge. The traditional hazards that accompany trampoline use are not nearly as present in this situation. This aspect allows more freedom and mobility form the people that are engaged in the activities.

The first game that will probably be played when on the equipment is the game of tag. The traditional tagging experience will be altered by the fact that the surface if flexible and elastic, and the texture of the surface is slippery. This activity often has people running and jumping around inside the confines of the construct, altering the dynamics of the game considerably. However, it is safe to fall down and knock against the walls, and may be enjoyable to do so.

Marco Polo

Another game that may be played inside the confines of the equipment is the game of “Marco Polo”. This game has someone who is it, with everyone else waiting to be tagged. The twist to the game is that the person who is it has to keep their eyes shut, and must flail around blindly until they make contact with another person. This will tag them as it. The person who is it can call out, and the other

participants have to respond, allowing the person who is it to track their movements via their audio cues. This activity is one that puts a spin on the traditional dynamics, and makes it so that everyone has a part in going through the activity. Another activity that people can play is the game of “crack the egg”. A single participant is selected, and they must sit on the floor and hold their feet, immobilizing both their feet and their hands. The others will bounce them, hoping to unbalance them enough to make them extend their arms or legs in the effort to balance. If the person who is the egg makes a move to rebalance, they have been cracked and it is someone else’s turn. The variety of the activities that can be enjoyed inside the inflatable object is its primary strength. The goal backing these pieces of equipment is that people will enjoy themselves, and the equipment goes a long way toward making this happen by offering those involved a whimsical and engaging time that allows them to have a childlike sense of fun during the proceedings.
