Using an old parachute, have the children spread around the chute placing their thumbs under the chute and their fingers on top. Using the right hand have all children move in one direction. When the right hand has practiced several movements, then switch to the left hand. Cat and Mouse.
Several children go under the chute to be the mice.
A couple of children stay on top of the chute to be the cats. The cats tap the mice and then the mice must climb out and create waves. Once all of the mice are caught choose from the children that helped hide the mice by making waves. Children lift the parachute above their heads and peek across at their opposite neighbor. They gently allow the chute to float down.
