My students and I love 3-2-1: Time for Parachute Fun. They get the chance to move around, be silly, and have fun. The games and activities get kids laughing while they're learning to count, cooperate, follow directions, and move their bodies in new ways. The activities promote social and emotional growth, imaginative play, and listening and communication skills. - Teacher Review This fantastic resource provides parents, teachers, and caregivers with plenty of ideas to get children moving and learning. I especially loved that each activity included step-by-step instructions, and many also included ideas for expanding activities to support further learning. - Teacher Review My students learned to depend on one another and work together, otherwise the parachute doesn't function properly. My students also learned that if they do not listen to directions then it is extremely hard to play. - Teacher Review
