Jump on the trampoline
The trampoline gives the body exactly the movement many children crave, but it also needs taking turns and stopping. Pictures make the rules clear before anyone climbs on. The visual support is below.

About this visual support
The trampoline is often the best way to burn off energy after a long school day. The rhythm, the weightlessness and the pressure of each landing give the body a lot of input, and many children are calmer afterwards. But when several children want to jump at once, or when it is time to stop, the same trampoline can become a place for conflicts and small accidents.
A handful of pictures set the frame: shoes off, one at a time or two at most, jump in the middle, no somersaults and climb down slowly. Add a picture for taking turns and a timer, and waiting becomes fair while the end becomes predictable. The child does not need to negotiate every rule, and the adult does not have to shout from the kitchen window.
A practical tip is to give each child ten jumps and then swap, with an adult counting out loud the first few times. It makes waiting short and concrete. Hang the pictures in a plastic sleeve by the trampoline ladder. If you want the trampoline as a break in the afternoon routine, you can try Routined for 14 days at no cost.
