(10) In the embodiment, when the user uses the luminous jumping ball of the disclosure, the ankle ring 200 is worn around ankles of the user. The jumping ball is played with in the traditional manner, that is, by swinging the jumping ball using the ankles. During the rotation of the jumping ball, when the roller 300 collides with the ground, the spring 360 acts as a cushion, that is, the spring 360 bends. As the roller 300 rolls, the spring 360 drives the rotatable sleeve 350 to roll on the connecting rod 100.
