#1: The Parachute
Saying the parachute was “fun” back in the day is a total understatement. Most of us couldn’t wait for gym class to start because playing with this iconic piece of fabric gave us a chance to disappear for just a moment in time and get wrapped up in the moment and pushed around by our classmates.
Whoever made it underneath the parachute the fastest was the coolest kid in class. Unfortunately, those who couldn’t duck and dodge quickly enough were laughed at while they were locked out of the fun. Luckily, the parachute only stayed inflated for a few moments, and then we started again.
