With this game a small group of children creat a living statue or sculpture under the parachute.

The group goes under the parachute in the centre and the children around the edge decide what they want the group to recreate. The parachute is lowered over the group in the middle and then told what to make e.g. an elephant, a house, a car etc.

The group of children outside count down from 10 and the parachute is then 'Mushroomed' to reveil the statue / sculpture.

An extention to this game would be for the group in the centre under the parachute to decide the statue / sculpture and the other children outside have to guess what they have recreated.

To make it harder the children could guess when the parachute is 'Mushroomed' or when the parachute is lowered on top of the group in the middle and left on them to form the shape.
