Teacher Notes

The parachute is flat on the ground.

The players are in two teams standing at the edge on opposite sides of the parachute.

Each team has a large dice which they take in turns to throw.

After a player has had their turn, the dice is passed to the next team member for their turn.

If the player throws a 1, 3, or 5 they go and sit on the parachute in front of their team.

If the player throws a 2,4 or 6, they remain standing.

The dice only moves up and down the line of players, who remain standing, until a fixed time like 3 minutes has passed, or a team quits.

Either team may quit at any time during the game.

The reason for quitting could be because they have more people sitting than the other team and therefore hope that the other time has not got enough time left to catch up.

Once a team has quit they cannot start playing again.

The winning team will be one with the most people sitting when time is called.
