Parachute Activities Everyone loves parachute day! Even the adults who walk through the gym tell me about the fond memories they have of playing with the parachute in their PE class when they were in school! I too have great memories playing games with the parachute and I enjoy teaching my students a variety of parachute activities. Attention P.E. teachers: Before teaching parachute activities, it is very important to talk about your rules/procedures.
