Sonyabecca Hole Tarp Team Building Exercise Activities Games Teamwork Group Learning Fun Playing 84''Lx55''W

There are lots of games that you can play with parachutes - if you look online you'll find plenty of ideas. For example, you could shake the parachute with balls and then see how quickly you can keep them all on (or down the hole in the middle), or play a version of tag where you call out two names and the children have to swap places by running around (or under) the parachute. While solving the problem, students learn about the importance of teamwork, problem solving, patience, communication, and cooperation. They must work together to move a single ball or several balls around the holes in the tarp. In the process, students discover that patience is important because rushing makes the ball more likely to fall off the edge, down a hole. The aim of the challenge is for the ball to travel around the tarp for the longest time possible without falling through the holes or coming off the tarp. Participants are provided with a tarp which they have to hold with both hands, creating a table top effect. If the ball falls off the tarpaulin or through a hole, the team must restart the challenge.
