When The Parachute Goes Up

An energetic game of moving different parts of the body, while playing with the parachute.

Have the children stand in a circle holding the parachute along the edges with both hands.
Have children move the parachute up and down and sing the following (sung to the tune of If You're Happy And You Know It):

When the parachute goes up
Stomp your feet
When the parachute goes up
Stomp your feet

When the parachute is high
And floats up in the sky
Stomp your feet.
