Teacher Notes

Play with the parachute open and flat on the floor. Divide the group into teams.

The teams stand side by side, claiming one section of the parachute as their own.

Each team is supplied with bean bags; as many as possible equally divided.

A receptacle, one per team, is placed in the same position on each team’s section.

The teams throw their bags at the receptacle on their section.

For every perfect shot into the bin, the team scores 1000.

Bags that land on a team’s own section, score 50.

Bags which land on another team’s section receive the shout “Litter Bugs” and the offending team loses 100 points. The receiving team scores 100 points.

Bags which land in another team’s receptacle also receive the shout of “Litter Bugs” and the offending team loses 100 points. The receiving team scores 500 points.
