PARACHUTE

Social Skills, co-operation & communication

Parachute play involves a group of children or adults in a non-competitive activity, where everyone works towards a common goal, and has a great deal of fun! At their heart, all parachute games are sensory. They involve touching the soft parachute fabric, moving or lying beneath or over it, and watching it rise and fall. Beautiful, colourful and sometimes calming, it can create soft, whispering sounds, or loud rippling noises, depending on how quickly it is moved. Working together encourages co-operation, communication and social skills. Being novel, even those who would normally 'opt out', tend to get involved. Used for co-operative games, it can help develop a wide range of social skills, and be a valuable aid in encouraging co-operation and social interaction. Exercises gross motor muscles in the upper body. A close group environment can be created by sitting on/under the parachute, and language activities can also be incorporated into most parachute games. Age 3+

Caution notes: Adult supervision is required at all times.
This is a toy - not to be used as a real parachute.
Do not roll anyone up inside the parachute.

Younger children enjoy rhythmical and musical activities.
Older children find fun and challenge in tossing a ball and
moving as a team to catch it.

For the elderly, parachutes are a wonderfully motivational
resource for exercise, movement and social interaction.
