[.ca] Parachute Games With DVD-2nd Edition (ISBN 0736063633)

Good for planning parachute activities:
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.
