Teamwork Makes the Dream Work!

Sports and movement are important factors in a child's education. Some sports focus on individuals while others require us to work together. It's hard to resist any game when there is a parachute involved but even more so when we get to add more props. Everyone understands that in order to get the parachute to work right, we have to be on the same page so everyone can have the best time possible. 

Did you know that our parachute can turn into a magic carpet? First we picked a nice big space, one big enough for us to run back and forth while pulling the parachute. Then we picked a few lucky magic carpet riders. Everyone wanted to go for a ride first, but they were also okay with taking turns. Sometimes we just have to wait to have that caliber of fun!  

The best part about being pulled on a parachute is, of course, the excitement of sliding across the floor at top speeds, be we also get a really really good core workout because we have to balance our bodies so we don't tip over or fall off the parachute. We also doscovered that it is much easier to pull a seated child rather than one who is laying down. This activity could easily go on for minutes, hours and maybe even days; that's how much we love it! 

Faster, please!!

We like to finish it off with popcorn and rocket ships!!! What a blast!
