Parachute Play
July is a great month for a picnic! Grab a large sheet, pack a health lunch, and head outside for a change of scenery. Before dipping in, arrange the children in a circle and have them each put both hands on the sheet, which will serve as the parachute. Create a merry-go-round by circling to the left and then to the right. On the count of three, have everyone raise their arms to lift the parachute. While the sheet is raised, call out two names and have them switch spots. Get creative -- the possibilities are endless when it comes to Parachute Play!
Spray and Count
Program an inexpensive shower curtain liner with numbers, Attach the liner to a fence or other structure in your outdoor play area and place squirt bottles filled with water nearby. Name a number and have the child spray that number a matching number of times.
