Not for the uncoordinated ... Hoola hoop fun.

For some hoop-swinging fun who can resist a game of hula-hoops. Mix up the traditional version with a few other quirky challenges to add to the mix.

Circle game:

1 hoop

How to play:

Get players to stand in a circle, start with a hula hoop onto one players arm, get players to then hold hands.

Instruct players they must find a way to move the hula hoop all the way around the circle without letting go of each others hands.

Hoop-la:

3 hoops

Flag (stuck in ground) or plastic bottle (filled with water or sand to weigh it)

How to play:

Get players to stand a few meters away, (mark starting line with a stick)  and adjust the distance according to childrens age ability.

Players will throw the 3 hoops onto the flag/bottle/target

Play for points or only players with 3 hoops on target moves on to next round where the distance is increased each round.

 

Musical hoops:

Play like musical chairs  (need as many hoops as players)
