ABC Parachute Play
Give each child a flashcard with a letter of the alphabet on it. Put a duplicate set of flashcards under the parachute. Children lift the parachute as a group and one at a time, as the teacher calls out the letter, go under the parachute to find their matching letter. Or if the child has an uppercase letter, he or she can find the lowercase, while the other kids raise the parachute up and keep it up.
Goals:
Teach children their ABC's through letter recognition and matching.
Use gross motor skills to hold up the parachute while one child goes under it to look for their matching card.
