Description
Overview
The Parachutes (6m) is an Avaro play parachute with a 6 m diameter, designed in NZ for group games where every child holds an edge. Bright and colourful, it turns simple lifts, waves and mushroom shapes into a cooperative activity that gets a large group moving at once.
Parachute games are about working together: the canopy only rises when everyone lifts on the same count, which is why they are a staple for developing teamwork and coordination among young children. You will find it in our active play and throw & catch categories alongside other group games.
Key benefits
- Large 6 m canopy lets a full class take part at once.
- Bright colours hold young children's attention through a session.
- Encourages teamwork, as the canopy only lifts when everyone pulls together.
- Builds coordination through timed lifts, waves and ball-rolling games.
- Avaro house brand, designed in NZ with school use in mind.
Who it's for
Best for primary schools, early childhood centres and community programmes running whole-class or large-group sessions on a field or in a hall. Allow a large clear area, as a 6 m canopy needs room for children to spread out around the edge.
If your groups are small or your space is tight, the Parachutes (3m) is the compact option and easier for the youngest children to control.
Care, safety and set-up
This is stocked Avaro product, so orders generally dispatch the same or next business day. Quantity pricing applies on many lines, and schools and clubs can ask about funding packages when outfitting several classrooms. Covered by the 12-month guarantee.
Frequently asked questions
Should I choose the 3 m or the 6 m parachute?
Go with 6 m for whole-class PE, field days and large groups where you have open space. The 3 m version suits small groups and indoor rooms.
Is it suitable for early childhood groups?
Yes. It is aimed at young children and the games are simple: lift, lower, wave and duck under. Just make sure the group is big enough to hold a 6 m edge.
Can I get a quote for several parachutes?
Yes. Add them to your quote list and request a quote; the team can price multiple units for a school or cluster.
