This book pretty much tells it all, from how to choose the right parachute for your activities to care and maintenance to how to play with it. They list close to 60 different parachute games, separated by low, medium and high activity levels. They describe the game, often with a picture and then offer some insight of what often happens with the children playing it. In addition to listing any additional equipment necessary (balls or a second chute), they'll talk about the duration of the game, when to play the game, good lead in activities and good follow up activities. They also talk about the developmental skills each game encourages.

I used this to help develop a curriculum program that I take to schools. It is a great resource for any game leader, educator, recreational director, etc. that uses parachutes.

I'm surprised with this book! It's really good and will be helpful to plan ny lessons when I'll work with parachute.

This book is really good about describing many different activities to do with the parachute. I was hoping it was more colorful and funner to read but other than that it gave me some new games I had never thought of. I really liked that it didn't just focus on older children. The details were easy to follow when trying the games out with a group of kids.

It took much longer to get the book than I had hoped. It was for a family reunion and came at the end of the week of the reunion. We had the reunion close to our home, so I was able to check for it, but otherwise it would not have arrived had we been farther away.

It does seem to have lots of ideas for games using the parachute.
