In my estimation, having presented games for over 35 years, the parachute is the best piece of recreation equipment that exists. Besides encouraging teamwork, parachute activities build upper body strength, gross motor skills, and develop balance, coordination, and flexibility. Cooperation is a key learning skill with parachutes, but most of all children (and adults too) find parachutes fun, exciting, and highly engaging.
