Cooperative Activities and

Parachute

2010 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.

“Potato” Race: - The team is split up into two sides, one half opposite the other - The first player in line places a potato or any object between his or her knees - The aim is to move to the other side without dropping the potato - At the other side another player will take over the potato and go back - Once a player has had a turn he or she sits down - The first team that has everyone sitting down wins the relay

Dizzy Relay: - Form two groups and have them stand in a straight line. - One member runs up to the opposite end and place their forehead on a bat

while twisting around a specified number of times. - Runners return and tap hand of those next in line and then sit down.

Dress Up & Take off Relay: (Grades K-2) - The first person in line runs past 4 cones - Each cone has an item of sports clothing - The runner has to put these clothes on in order - From the last cone the person has to run to a big cone and around it - Once he or she is on the way back they take off their sports clothing in order - They then tap the next person in line and sit down - The first team that has everyone sitting down, wins the relay - If there are an uneven number of players the first person will have to go twice

Grocery List Relay: (K) - The first in line runs to the first piece of grocery, picks it up and runs to the cone - At the cone is a shopping bag, in which the grocery should be placed

- The runner then sits down behind the grocery bag - Once the grocery is put in the bag, the next runner can leave to pick up the next

piece of grocery, etc Spoon Relay: - The team is split up into two sides, one half stands opposite the other half about

return - All the players in the line follow, taking turns, until full stack is completed. - Blocks lay in hoop. Stacking will be on top of a crate.

Additional Relays: Skipping relay: Each person skips down around the cone and back. The next person goes. Bear walk. Running on hands and feet down to the other end and back. Crab walk. Bunny hop. Hop on right foot down and left foot back: there are many variations that can be done if you want to think some up Jump ropes. Run skipping the rope down to the other end and back. After one turn, runners hand off the rope to the next person waiting in line. RING HOCKEY ACTIVITY Activity takes place in cordoned area with benches in the middle. Equipment used includes rings, plain sticks, cones and balls. Object is to slide rings under the bench with the use of the stick with or without aiming for a target. Variations include: random placement of targets, restricted movement (targets in no person's land), attackers & defenders, throwing with yarn ball in stead of sliding with rings, kicking. Targets can also be placed in the back of the courts in no man's land. Team helpers can be placed in no man's land to return balls.
