me-10313-10325 Rainbow Parachute

1 . Participants stand around the rainbow parachute, holding its edge with their hands, and then follow the instructor's directions to perform simple up and down movements.

2 . To ensure the activity runs smoothly, it is advisable to divide participants evenly into two groups, A and B, before starting. Then, one member from Group A and one from Group B should alternate positions around the parachute. If the number of males and females is similar, they can stand in a circle alternating male and female to ensure even force on the rainbow parachute.

3 . The instructor explains to participants that this activity requires everyone to perform actions together. If even one person is not cooperative, the action will fail. Everyone also needs to focus on listening to the instructor's commands to perform consistent actions.

Explanation of Rainbow Parachute moves:
A . Raising and Lowering: When the instructor shouts "raise high," everyone lifts their hands to raise the rainbow parachute. When they shout "lower low," everyone squats down and lowers the rainbow parachute to the ground. When they shout "hands flat," everyone stands with their hands down. The instructor can also use "elevator floors" to indicate raising and lowering, for example, shouting "10th floor" means raising it highest, "ground floor" means lowering it to the lowest, and "5th floor" means standing posture.

B . Strong Wind and Gentle Breeze: The instructor gives three commands representing wind intensity. Participants tremble their hands according to the wind intensity to create waves. The stronger the wind, the larger the waves created. See how big everyone's waves are. The slogans are "no wind," "gentle breeze," and "strong wind." The instructor can also change the slogans to weather observatory typhoon warning signals: "Typhoon Signal No. 1" for small waves, and "Typhoon Signal No. 10" for making the biggest waves with force. The instructor can also place a beach ball on the rainbow parachute to make this action more interesting.
C . Turning Left and Turning Right: When the instructor shouts "turn left," everyone takes small steps to the left, making the rainbow parachute turn clockwise. When they shout "turn right," everyone takes small steps to the right, making the rainbow parachute turn clockwise. If participants are proficient in turning left and right, the instructor can try to instruct participants to let go of their left or right hand while turning.
D . Small Cake: The instructor first explains a series of actions to participants before they act together. Everyone sequentially performs "raise high," "lower low," and steps on the edge of the rainbow parachute with their feet, lets go of their hands, and stands up. This fills the rainbow parachute with air, and everyone collectively seals the edges with their feet, preventing air from escaping easily, forming a domed shape, like a small cake. The instructor can invite participants to touch the small cake with their hands. After participants are familiar with the series of actions, the instructor can use the slogan "small cake" to instruct everyone to perform it.
E . Eating the Cake: This move requires dividing participants evenly into two groups, A and B, before starting. Then, one member from Group A and one from Group B should alternate positions around the parachute. First, create a "small cake," then Group A members crawl on the rainbow parachute towards the center, squeezing out air as they crawl. This is called "eating the cake." After Group A finishes, Group B performs the same action.
F . Shape Shifting: The instructor first explains a series of actions to participants before they act together. The instructor randomly selects two participants, then everyone performs "raise high," and at the same time, the two selected participants run under the rainbow parachute and swap positions. Once participants are familiar with the rules, the instructor can select four participants to perform "shape shifting," but do not challenge more than six participants, as too many people running can easily cause accidents.
G . Rocket Launch: The instructor first places a beach ball on the rainbow parachute. Then, the instructor squats under the rainbow parachute, pulling the center of the parachute downwards to create a concave shape, securing the beach ball in the indentation. Then, everyone performs "raise high" together and immediately and rapidly performs the "lower low" action. The instructor simultaneously lets go, which creates an airflow that propels the beach ball upwards. Participants can practice several times to make the beach ball bounce higher.
H . Yurt: This move is not suitable for the elderly. This move consists of 4 steps. The instructor should explain all steps thoroughly, then slowly count 1, 2, 3, 4, allowing participants to follow the rhythm. Step 1: Participants hold the rainbow parachute with their hands crossed. Step 2: Everyone performs "raise high" together and takes one step forward. Step 3: Participants rotate, turning their backs to the center, extending their arms again, maintaining the "raise high" posture. Step 4: Everyone performs "lower low" together and rolls over to sit on the rainbow parachute, filling it with air, and collectively sealing the edges with their bottoms to prevent air from escaping easily, forming a domed shape.
Precautions:
1 . If elderly people participate in this group game, they should avoid large movements such as squatting and sitting to prevent injury.
2 . Participants should maintain a distance from each other to avoid injury from collisions.
