Program Idea: Parachute Playtime

This summer I offered a parachute playtime for kids 2-3 and 4-5. The idea for this program came from the genius that is my close personal friend Miss Lisa, so make sure you stop by her blog to see what activities she includes in her parachute programs . In addition to her program, I also got ideas from Parachute Play by Liz and Dick Wilmes I like to do a lot of nursery rhymes with the parachute for a few reasons: Parents/kids are more likely to participate in activities where the content is already familiar I already know them so I don't have to learn a whole bunch of material at once (just being honest here) Easy for the families to replicate this activities at home with whatever props they might have.

(Here I yell "WAKE UP BUNNIES!" and the kids shake the parachute.) Hop, little bunnies, hop, hop hop! Hop, little bunnies, hop, hop hop! Hop, little bunnies, hop, hop hop! Then we say "good night" to the bunnies and repeat a few times. Today's Fl
