Rocket Pump
Pump the rocket full, then arms up to blast off.
▶ Play Rocket PumpHow to play
A rocket rolls onto the pad with an empty tank. Pump it like a big bike pump: both hands, or one, driving down and coming back up. Every pump squirts fuel down the hose, and the rocket jiggles and swells. When the tank is full the countdown runs 3-2-1: throw your arms up and it roars off, higher the fuller and the faster you pumped, collecting stars on the way. Then the next, sillier rocket rolls in. The last one is a giant that takes the rest of the round and leaves for the moon. From Medium the tank springs leaks: slap them shut.
What kids practice
- pumping with the arms and the knees
- a fast, steady rhythm
- reaching up high
What you need
A laptop, tablet or phone with a camera. Open the game, allow the camera, and step back about a meter. No account, no controller. Two kids can play side by side.
What happens to the video
It stays on your device. The game reads the camera image and throws it away. The one exception is a short highlight a grown-up can choose to share at the end, deleted when you play again or leave. No video is ever uploaded. Our privacy policy has the details.
Who it's for
Our space game, and a proper arm workout: filling a tank takes real pumping, and bending the knees into each stroke counts too. Nothing ever costs a point. A tank that is not full in time still launches, only lower, and an empty rocket just coughs and rolls away. Two kids get a pad and a rocket each.
Questions
What age is Rocket Pump for?
All ages. One hand can pump, and a kid standing close to the camera still counts.
What if the tank is not full in time?
The rocket launches anyway, only lower. An empty one coughs, hops and rolls off, and the next rocket comes.
Can two children play?
Yes. Each has a pad, a pump and a rocket of their own on their own half of the screen.
Is it free?
Yes. Free in the browser, and free on the Android app.
