Earthball and Parachute Equipment

New Fully Printed Earthball

Okay! I know I’ve asserted that equipment is not necessary for New Games, and that’s true. However, the enduring symbol for New Games is this large, light-weight Earthball, which was used in the very first New Games Festival in 1973. The ball was originally the idea of Ken Kesey (author of “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”), and is now available for all New Games fans and leaders, to rent or buy. It can be used in competitive and a variety of cooperative activities. A summary of these games will be provided upon purchase.

Parachutes for Games and Activities

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.
