Question: I ordered two 6-foot parachutes for my classroom, and I want to incorporate more movement into my lessons. So... what should I do with them? What kind of activities do you do or wish you could do with parachutes?

Answer: I use the parachute with the song "Sugar Shack"... think '60s.

Lift up for 8.
Down for 8.
Up for 8.
Go under and sit on it for 8.
Hold it for 8.
Come out for 8.
And start over.

We make our own little shack... so to speak! You could do this with any song you like... I just like this one!
