Snappy Alligator
This fun team parachute game for all ages.
How to play:

All the children sit on the ground, holding the parachute by its edge.  Their feet are stretched straight out in front of them under the parachute. The players are gently moving the parachute up and down.  One player is the alligator and moves around under the parachute and snaps one person’s feet.  That player then swaps places with the alligator and moves to snap another player’s feet. 
Variation:
The snapped player goes under the parachute with the alligator and they work together to snap more players.
