Activity
How to play
Help children divide into partners. Give each child a hoop, and plenty of space. Partners should stand 4–8 feet apart, facing one another. The partners try to roll their hoops to each other at the same time.
Teaching Cues
More Challenging
Give both hoops to one of the partners so that children can try to roll both hoops at once to their partner. They can do this by having a hoop in each hand, or they can hold both hoops together in one hand. Challenge the partner to roll one hoop and then to quickly roll the other hoop after it, as if it were chasing the first hoop. This is a real challenge for the partner to catch.
Enrichment
Talk to the children about the shape of the hula hoop. Talk about other things that have the same shape. Find objects in the classroom that have the same shape.
