Tons of Parachute Game Options

There are many games you can play with a parachute. The followings are some examples: Popcorn - Place a number of beanbags, small balls, or cottonballs onto the parachute. Shake to make them pop up like "popcorn". Making Waves - Children can make small, medium, or large movements to make various types of "waves" around the parachute. Merry-Go-Round - Children turn their bodies sideways and hold the chute with one hand. They then walk around in a circle, making a "Merry-Go-Round." For variety, children can hop, skip, jump, etc. Switch - Call out a birthday month, age or a pre-assigned color and have children swap places under the parachute before it falls. Mushroom - Standing, lift the parachute waist height. Count to three - with "one" and "two" being small practice lifts. On three, all lift the chute overhead, and crouch down pulling the parachute edges down as well. This creates what looks like a "mushroom."
