A World of Parachute Play CD

My three-year-old’s preschool class used this for their multicultural week, and the way the songs guide them to lift and shake the parachute together kept even the shyest kids engaged.

We’ve used this CD in our preschool class, and the kids get so excited when they hear the opening notes—especially the song with the fast up-and-down movements. It’s made parachute time much easier to manage because the songs guide the children naturally.

The songs are catchy enough, but the track order feels a bit random for a group activity. It took a few tries to get the kids to follow the parachute movements cleanly. Still, the global music variety keeps it from feeling too repetitive.
