Gamifying may sound like a made-up word, but trust us, it isn\u2019t. Gamification is the application of game-design elements and game principles to a non-game context, such as your trampoline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3fAEJYP\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/partsfortrampolines.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/JumpGames_Image.jpg\" alt=\"JumpGames Set on display, showing Giveaway prize.\" class=\"wp-image-986\" width=\"468\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/partsfortrampolines.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/JumpGames_Image.jpg 800w, https:\/\/partsfortrampolines.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/JumpGames_Image-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/partsfortrampolines.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/JumpGames_Image-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/partsfortrampolines.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/JumpGames_Image-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/partsfortrampolines.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/JumpGames_Image-610x610.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 468px) 85vw, 468px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>To celebrate the launch, we&#8217;re also giving away a JumpGames Set, to enter you simply have to head over to our Facebook, and comment below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3fAEJYP\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/partsfortrampolines.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/facebook-jumpgames-giveaway-image-1.jpg\" alt=\"Giveaway prize, showing the JumpGames Set.\" class=\"wp-image-987\" srcset=\"https:\/\/partsfortrampolines.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/facebook-jumpgames-giveaway-image-1.jpg 940w, https:\/\/partsfortrampolines.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/facebook-jumpgames-giveaway-image-1-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/partsfortrampolines.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/facebook-jumpgames-giveaway-image-1-768x644.jpg 768w, https:\/\/partsfortrampolines.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/facebook-jumpgames-giveaway-image-1-610x511.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>JumpGames, the new product from North Trampolines, can turn your trampolines into an outdoor gaming destination. You can play alone, play it with friends, or challenge yourself against the world as you level up and improve your score. The JumpGames sound effects, commentary, and music will get you jumping like never before. It is like being inside a game, but being outside enjoying all the benefits that come with physical movement outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re still wondering why anyone would want to add more technology into their kid\u2019s lives, we have explained 5 benefits of gamifying your trampolines with the JumpGames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>1. Movement Helps Brain Function<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exercise has been referred to as \u201cMiracle-Gro for the brain\u201d, due to the role that it plays in stimulating nerve growth factors. Many studies have suggested that regular physical activity will support child brain development by improving memory, concentration, and yield a positive outlook. Research has also found that kids that partook in some form of exercise before school started, were less distracted and more attentive to their schoolwork.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>2. Children Already Spend a Lot of Time on Devices<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reality of 2020 is that screen time is a huge element of almost everyone\u2019s life. We all spend hours watching Netflix, playing games, sitting in front of a computer, and on our phones. We are instinctively more appalled by this, when kids are the victims of it. Studies show that kids spend on average 60 hours a week consuming media, while less than 60 minutes are spent playing outside. Or more shockingly, most kids spend less time outside than prison inmates.  With JumpGames, we are not aiming to replace that digital connection, but rather replace the screen time with outdoor exercise. It isn\u2019t about attempting to get rid of something that is so deeply ingrained in the child\u2019s life, but rather substitute it for something they will equally enjoy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>3. &nbsp;We Want Kids to Be Outside and Active<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone knows the amazing health benefits of being outside and active regularly. Regular physical activity improves strength and endurance, helps build bone and muscles, and can even help reduce anxiety and stress. All of this is at its utmost importance during a child\u2019s developmental years, which is why we believe so strongly in the products we sell. The JumpGames set is a perfect complimentary item to both a trampoline that is a big hit with your kids, but also for a trampoline that has become a somewhat forgotten garden ornament.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>4. We are Embracing Technology<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accepting the reality of the role technology is playing in kids\u2019 lives, is the first step in trying to remedy the issues that arise with it. There is certainly an issue that that most kids would rather move their fingers on a device to watch other kids do something on YouTube, than they would actually move their own legs. We understand that kids are growing up in a digitally saturated world, so instead of fighting to get kids off technology, we want them to go outside with it.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>5.
