All children stand in a circle around the parachute, and are evenly labelled a number up to 4-5 (depending on class size).
Children work together and at the same time to move parachute up into the air, and down to the floor.
Coach calls out a number when the parachute is in the air, and the children with that number let go and run under the parachute, swapping spaces with another person of their number.
Progression:
- class works together to try and trap anyone under who didn't move quick enough.
- add a few objects (eg. two dodgeballs), under the parachute that the runners have to pick up on their way under.
