Movement means life.
It means freedom, pleasure, communication and sensuous enjoyment. Inflating the parachute requires teamwork and cooperation. A child learns firsthad the meaning of total involvement and so moving through space he gains an understanding of his physical relationship to the real world. The games and exercises we perform with the parachute develop and strengthen arm and shoulder muscle development and at the same time strengthen wrist and finger muscles. There are wide variations in interests and abilities within a given group, however all students regardless of skill and strength can participate succesfully and non-competitively with the parachute.
