Bounce houses, water slides, backyard games and more for your school's field day, end-of-year celebration, or fall festival

School field day rentals from Jumpin Joy Party Rentals in Travis and Williamson County

Planning a field day takes more than a free afternoon on the calendar. It takes the right mix of party rentals, enough space for students to rotate through safely, and a rental company that treats a school campus with the same care as a backyard birthday party. Jumpin Joy Party Rentals provides party equipment rentals for schools, PTAs, and event planners across Pflugerville and the rest of Travis and Williamson County, from bounce houses and water slides to backyard games and concession machines.

This guide walks through what to rent, how to plan the timeline, and what a school should ask about insurance and safety before booking event rentals for a student event.

What to Rent for a School Field Day

Every school's field day looks a little different depending on grade levels, campus space, and budget. Jumpin Joy Party Rentals' inventory covers the categories that come up most often for student events:

  • Bounce house rentals and combo bouncers for elementary grade levels, sized to fit a playground, gym floor, or parking lot station.
  • Water slide rentals, a popular choice for end-of-year field days once Central Texas afternoons start running hot.
  • Backyard games like cornhole, Big Jenga, and Giant Connect 4, which work well as low-supervision stations between bigger inflatables.
  • Concession machine rentals, including snow cone and cotton candy machines, for a fundraiser table or an end-of-day treat.
  • Tables and chairs for a check-in station, shade break area, or volunteer table.

A general rule of thumb is one bounce house or game station per 30 to 40 students, so lines keep moving and every grade level gets time on each activity.

Planning Party Rentals for a School Field Day in Travis or Williamson County

  1. Pick a date and book early. Most field days land in April or May, and those weekends fill up fast. Booking four to six weeks ahead gives more room to get the exact inflatables a school wants.
  2. Count students and grade levels. The number of students, and how many grade levels are rotating through at once, drives how many stations a field day needs and which activities fit each age group.
  3. Check the space and power. A flat area of grass, blacktop, or a gym floor works for most inflatables, and each one needs a standard outlet within about 100 feet. Jumpin Joy Party Rentals can walk through layout options with the field day committee ahead of time.
  4. Choose the rentals. Mix bounce houses, water slides, and backyard games based on student count and available space, using the categories above as a starting point.
  5. Sort out payment and insurance. Schools booking with Jumpin Joy Party Rentals can arrange payment options such as a check or purchase order, in addition to standard online booking, and can request a certificate of insurance ahead of the event.
  6. Let the crew handle event day. Jumpin Joy Party Rentals delivers, sets up, and safety-checks every rental before students arrive, then handles teardown and pickup once the day wraps. See what to expect on event day for the full delivery-to-pickup timeline.

Jumpin Joy Party Rentals works directly with PTA and PTO committees, teachers, and campus administrators, not just parents planning a birthday party. Bring the student count and budget to a call or email and the team will help narrow down a lineup that fits both.

Insurance, Inspections, and Safety for School Events

Schools have to be careful about who they let onto campus, and Jumpin Joy Party Rentals treats that responsibility the same way it treats any backyard event. Every inflatable in the fleet is inspected in line with Texas Department of Insurance regulations, and Jumpin Joy Party Rentals carries general liability coverage and can provide a certificate of insurance for a school or district on request.

Setup depends on the surface. Grass fields get staked down, while blacktop, gym floors, and parking lots get anchored with sandbags instead. Every inflatable is cleaned and sanitized before it goes out, following the same process laid out on how Jumpin Joy Party Rentals cleans its equipment, and the delivery crew reviews basic supervision and weather rules with staff or volunteers before students start playing.

For a closer look at how Jumpin Joy Party Rentals approaches equipment safety across every rental, see the full inflatable rental safety standards page. Staff or parent volunteers assigned to watch a bounce house station can also review the bounce house supervision guide ahead of time, so the day runs safely from the first student to the last.

Frequently Asked Questions About School Field Day Rentals

What should we rent for a school field day in Travis or Williamson County?

Most field days mix bounce houses or combo bouncers for younger grades with backyard games for quick-turnover stations, and add a water slide rental for end-of-year events once the weather turns warm, such as the 15ft Big Kahuna double lane water slide, which lets two students race side by side. The right combination depends on student count, grade levels, and how much space the campus has to work with.

How far in advance should a school book field day rentals?

Book four to six weeks ahead when possible. Field days cluster heavily in April and May across Travis and Williamson County, so earlier booking means a wider choice of party rentals for the date a school needs.

Does Jumpin Joy Party Rentals provide a certificate of insurance for schools?

Yes. Jumpin Joy Party Rentals carries general liability coverage and can provide a certificate of insurance for a school or district on request. Let the team know the school's requirements when booking so the paperwork is ready ahead of the event.

How much space and power does each rental need on school grounds?

Most inflatables need a flat, clear area plus a standard electrical outlet within about 100 feet. Jumpin Joy Party Rentals works with grass fields, blacktop, gym floors, and parking lots, and anchors each unit with the method that fits the surface.

What happens if it rains on field day?

Safety comes first, so operation pauses for lightning or high wind. Light rain generally does not stop a field day. Reach out as early as possible if weather looks uncertain so the team can talk through rescheduling options for the school's date.

Can schools pay by check or purchase order?

Yes. Schools booking a field day can arrange payment by check or purchase order, an option Jumpin Joy Party Rentals makes available specifically for school accounts in addition to standard online booking.
