HOw to play
chute ball
Have the entire group split into two teams, a mix of volunteers and children. One team gets one side of the parachute, and the other team gets the other half. The goal of the game is to get the ball to fall off the parachute on the opposite team's side.
Cowboy horse farmer
Have everyone split into partners. The ones who are partnered with preschoolers stay by their partners. The rest go to opposite ends of the playing area. This is to get the partners far away from each other. The leader counts down from ten, but they can shout "Cowboy", "Horse", or "Farmer" at any time when they are counting down. When the leader shouts one of these three, the partners must go to each other and act out what the word is.
Cowboy: One partner holds their hands as if they are holding a lasso. The other partner gets down on all fours and moos like a cow
Horse: One partner gets down on all fours like a horse. The other sits on them
Farmer: One partner stands on one leg with their hands in the air pretending to be corn. The other pretends to hold a shovel
The goal is to get to your partner first and act out what was said. The last group to find their partner and get into position is out. Play continues until there is one team left.
