Adding items on top of the parachute can add to the fun. For musical excitement try adding jingle-bells inside a small pillow.
Bounce to the Beat
This game is good practice for the children to learn beats and rhythm. Use a drum, clap your hands, or use pre-recorded music. Have the chidren try to copy the sound by bouncing the jingle-bells on the parachute.
Count and Bounce
Clap different numbers and have the children try to bounce the jingle-bell pillows that many times. You can even give the children a chance to clap and have their peers repeat with the jingle-bells.
