The children sit in the circle around the outer edge of the parachute.

The idea of this game is for pairs of children to act out an action in the middle of the parachute. The other children have to guess what the action / mime is.

The actions could be written out on cards by the teacher and handed to each pair or the pairs could come up with their own action.

Some action examples include building a snowman, digging the garden, planting flowers, having a hair cut, cooking lunch etc.
