Parachute Basics – Introductory Games for Kids
parachute game is so exciteing for kids
Have children evenly spread out around the parachute and hold the edges.
Have everyone gently tug on the parachute, holding it low between knee level and the ground.
On the count of three,in unison, raise the chute upwards. It should fill with air, rising up like a giant “mushroom”.
Work on getting the mushroom as high as possible, having each child take a step or two into the center, eventually running to the center while still holding the chute.
If all children are synchronized and let go of the chute as it is in the air, it should maintain its mushroom shape and rise.
The Merry-Go-Round
Have children evenly spread out around the parachute.
Students should all turn sideways, facing the same way with one hand on the parachute.
Now walk, jog, skip, jump and gallop around in a circle. Switch directions and hands from time to time. The chute should look like a merry-go-round .
