An inflatable bounce house can provide ample entertainment for a children's birthday party, but this doesn't mean that you should just rent the first bounce house that you can find. Instead, carefully evaluate the different types of bounce houses that your local rental center can offer, and see if you can find a competition-focused bounce house. Such bounce houses have different designs, but are normally designed to have two children compete at the same time through a series of areas — inflatable ladders, slides, obstacle course sections, and more. Here are some reasons that a competition-focused bounce house is a good idea for a party.

It's An Opportunity To Hand Out Prizes

At any children's party, it can be fun to introduce challenges and games that have winners. Children naturally want to compete with one another a lot of the time, so it's highly likely that the kids in attendance will be eager to compete in the bounce house. You can organize different challenges, such as one-on-one competitions and relay races, and then award prizes to the winners. The prize ceremony can be an unexpectedly fun part of the party, especially if you select exciting prizes and find a way to award one to every participant.

It Can Encourage Teamwork

Even if the party environment, it's ideal to look for ways to encourage good behavior among the children. A competition-focused bounce house can serve as the foundation for reminding the kids about the importance of teamwork. This is especially true if you organize relay races. The winner team can't succeed without everyone doing his or her part, and the kids will have fun cheering on their teammates as they navigate the bounce house's challenges.

It Will Work Up An Appetite

If you're concerned about how sedentary your children are, renting a competition-focused bounce house for an upcoming birthday party can be ideal. At some parties, children simply get together and play video games, but if you want to keep them active, you can do so with the bounce house. There's a good chance that all of the kids will be tired and sweaty by the end of the competition — as well as have worked out big appetites, which you can help by serving a birthday meal that everyone will enjoy. Visit a local inflatable attractions rental service, like Stop N Grab Entertainment, to find a bounce house that will encourage friendly competition among your birthday party attendees.
