Rules & Safety:
Parachute games are for all ages; however, you may need to change each game for the age group that is involved. The nature of parachute games means that children are actively running around, pulling the chute, crawling around, and possibly climbing on other children. Playing with a play parachute is generally very safe; however, from time to time, an accident will happen.
To avoid injuries, explain the following rules:
Have the children remove their shoes before approaching the parachute.
Encourage the children to space themselves around the parachute so that there are no large gaps. If there is a large , roll up the parachute – making a smaller parachute.
Have the children hold the parachute with both hands at all times. Don’t allow the children to remove their hands in order to hit balls.
The children should take care of others: they should not kick under the parachute and they should watch their elbows, either of these can cause injuries.
If the parachute is used for trust exercises, i.e. walking on air – parachute game, use play mats under the play area.
If the parachute has a hole in the middle, please ensure that the children know it is dangerous to place their head through the center.
If these precautions are taken, your children will have an entertaining and educational experience with the play parachute.
As winter approaches, children need indoor play activities that are fun and educational. We recommend parachute games. Playing parachute games encourages cooperative play. Children will learn how to share and take turns.
While playing with a parachute, children can increase strength in their shoulders, arms, and hands. It will help with their sense of rhythm and also improve their language skills, perceptual motor skills, and listening skills.
When children work together they can make playing with a parachute fun! Incorporate songs, rhymes, and movement activities to energize them.
Activities to play:
1) See-Saw Pull: From a sitting position, pull the parachute back and forth in a see-sawing motion.
2) Make Waves: While gripping the parachute, everyone moves their arms up and down to make small and large waves.
3) Wave: Where one person puts hands up and person next to her follows action. (like the wave at a baseball game)
4) The Ocean: Pretend the parachute is the ocean. Try to let everyone who wants to have a turn ‘in the ocean’. Everyone is standing and one or two children (shoes off) go toward the center and lie down – then all make waves – it’s a neat .
5) Mushroom: From a standing position, ask all the children to bend down and take hold of the parachute. When the leader calls “up”, all the children raise their arms lifting the parachute up as high as they can, then everyone takes 3-4 giant steps toward the center – making a mushroom shape, pulling the chute behind them and then they sit on the edge of the chute.
6) Ball Roll: Try to roll balls into the hole in the center of the parachute.
7) Popcorn: Start with everyone holding the chute stretched out. Place a number of small plastic balls, beanbags, or small stuffed animals on the chute. Shake the chute to make them rise like popcorn. See how quickly you can bounce them off without letting go of the parachute.
8) Snake: Place four to six pieces of yarn or rope on the chute. By shaking the chute, try to make them hit the on the other side. Keep track of who gets bitten.
9) Parachute – call out a child’s name and have him run under the parachute before it comes down
10) Chute Ball – Place the ball on the parachute and throw the ball as high in the air as you can
11) Children try to run to the other side if their colour is called, some game like this.
