I have field day on Wednesday and my grade (7 & 8 grades) is RUNNING IT! There are sports and water games. I'm focusing on the parachute games because I was assigned to them but I will be involved in some water games too. Any tips on what to wear, game ideas with the parachute, and how to get the little kids to have fun and pay attention?I have field day on Wednesday and my grade (7 &8 grades) is RUNNING IT!

Wear denim shorts, sandals, and a plain t-shirt. One thing you can do with the kids is making a hut with it. You and the kids pump the parachute then on three all lift it in the air and sit on the edge inside of it, see how long you guys can last before it comes down

To get the smaller kids to pay attention, try clapping and having them clap in response. Or, tell them they're invisible when they're misbehaving, so that to get your attention they need to behave. It sounds stupid but it worked when I worked with 7 year olds.

i recommend you wear a light shirt but preferably white with a sports bra. If you wear other colors your sweat stains could be shown (if you don't care go for it). Wear basketball shorts or running shorts. If they are short and ride up when you walk or run, wear spandex (volleyball shorts) under. shoes: just wear regular sneakers, converse or vans are okay but remember that they will be getting dirty and wet. From experience those shoes don't dry fast. Good Luck and have fun :)

wear a basic t-shirt, some shorts, and sneakers. keep it simple. this site has a bunch of perfect ideas for parachute games:
