200 ES Field Days PARACHUTE GAMES The students should sit around the parachute without touching it until one in charge gives the instructions. The parachute should be held by the edge, not by the handles, because the handles will rip or the children can pull a muscle more easily. No shoes should be allowed on the parachute, only socks or bare feet. The following activities work well in the order they are presented, but students may make suggestions and improvements to the following based on past class experiences. You may always add your very own creative game as well. MAKING WAVES Sitting, kneeling and then standing gently and then with increasing force move arms up and down making waves with the parachute. BOUNCING BALLS POPCORN : Add different size balls one at a time to the parachute while making waves. See how high the balls can bounce. Try to keep them from bouncing right off. TENT IGLOO : Everyone stands holding onto the parachute. On the count of three everyone raises their arms above their heads, pulls the parachute down behind them and then sits on their edge of the parachute. Everyone will be sitting inside what looks like a big dome while it slowly deflates around him or her. Note: It s fun to make a tent in order to explain the next game while everyone is sitting under the tent. TRADING/SWITCHING PLACES: One half of the circle is given numbers starting at one. The next half of the circle is given the same numbers. Each person should be sitting opposite the person with the same number If there is an uneven number of participants the highest number will have three people with that number. Everyone starts standing making waves. When leader calls a number, the two people with that number run under the waves and switch places. It is possible to call 2 numbers as long as the 5 aren t close to each other or else the parachute will be left dangling. Call numbers until everyone has had a chance to switch. CAT AND MOUSE TAG: Keeping the same numbers as the previous game, have 2 sets of numbers go under the parachute to be the mice (4 people). Have one set of numbers go on hands and knees on top of the parachute as cats (2 people). The rest of the people make waves to help hide the mice while the cats crawl through the waves trying to find the mice. When a mouse is tagged he/she comes out and joins the wave makers. After a few minutes or when all the mice have been found choose new mice and cats. JAWS: Two people (keeping the same number system works well) go under the parachute and become sharks. Two other people walk around the outside of the circle of people holding the parachute; they are the lifeguards. Everyone else sits on the ground with their legs straight out in front of them and the parachute pulled up to their waist. These people make waves while the sharks are under the waves grab the feet of unsuspecting people (swimmers) and try to pull them under the parachute. As soon as a swimmer feels a tug on their feet they start to call for the life guards who run around the outside of the circle, grab the victim under the arms and try to rescue them from being dragged under by the shark. If the lifeguard succeeds the shark goes on to another victim. If the shark succeeds he/she switches places with the victim. Continue for a few minutes and then switch the sharks and lifeguards with other people.
200 ES Field Days COOPERATIVE AND TEAM BUILDING ACTIVITIES & RING HOCKEY ACTIVITY COOPERATIVE AND TEAM BUILDING ACTIVITIES Set up two to four groups. If there are an uneven number of students, the first person in line should go twice. Everyone should have a chance to be the first one to start if possible and time permits.
