We all sit in a circle, each taking an end of the parachute and shaking it up and down with beach ball or balloons on top. The residents try to stop the ball coming off the parachute using their head, elbows & shoulders. Its great exercise and good fun. You can make up teams or just all play together.
I got our parachute from the Winslow activity book but Asda also now stock them and they’re a lot cheaper there.
