You’ll have to work as a team to roll the ball across the parachute to your friends.

Resources

Footballs
Parachute (or old sheet or duvet cover)

Instructions

Everyone should stand around the edge of the parachute and hold the handles.
Explain that everyone should work together to lift the parachute to about chest height, and gently pull it taut.
Put the ball into the middle of the parachute and say a player’s name.
Work together to make the ball roll over to the person leading the game has chosen. People can call out instructions to each other if they think it’ll help.
It may take some practice before everyone gets the hang of it—it takes concentration, teamwork, and persistence to get the ball to its destination. You’ll need to put the ball back on if it falls off.

When the ball reaches the person whose named was called they should call out someone else’s name. The ball must cross the middle of the parachute between each person, so they should choose someone across the parachute from them.
Roll the ball to the new person.
Keep playing until everyone’s name has been called, and the ball has visited everyone.
Everyone could play again—the person leading the game could time everyone, to see how quickly they can get the ball around to everyone.
