Game: Parachute Water Cycle

  • Print

Supplies:

  • Cut out about three dozen water droplets out of blue construction paper.
  • Old bed sheet.

How to Play:

  1. Put the water droplets in the center of an old bed sheet - this is the ocean or a lake.
  2. The children hold onto all sides of the sheet and gently toss the water droplets up and down - this is when the sun heats up the water and it evaporates into the sky, to make clouds.
  3. At the shout of "Rain!" the children toss the sheet high into the air, making the water droplets fly - the clouds are now full of water – shake the parachute to make all of the water drops fly off like rain..
  4. Have the girls collect all the rain drops - they are like the rivers and streams bringing the water back to the ocean or lake.
