Up, Up, Away Team Building

Help me give my students the feeling of being a kid! These parachutes make my students feel like kids and let them release from all the stresses of middle school.

My Project

When talking to my 6th grade Physical Education students they all expressed to me that sometimes they just want to have fun. With these parachutes the students get to be kids and be silly. While they are being silly they are also learning team building skills.

Most students just want to have fun in PE and feel like a kid.

With the parachutes we can add them to different games that they already know to make a challenge. The large parachute we can make an ultra lite ball fly. They can also make a big bubble and every sit underneath and have fun. Some many possibilities can happen with the parachutes.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
