Good afternoon!
I recently acquired a parachute - the kind used in schools. I have developed one training activity around it already, but I'm looking for more suggestions. Help!
Thanks in advance!
Wendy

I saw one where the parachute strings were spread out into a circle. Someone sat in the middle of the parachute. Goal was to pull your string and make the person in the middle rise. When everyone pulled haphazardly they could't lift the person. Then when they pulled together the person rose.

How much room do you have to play with? I once participated in an activity where we had to come together as a team and bounce a ball in the middle as high as we could. To make the ball bounce higher, we all had to move in the same direction at the same time. It was fun!
