Activity
How to play
Tell the children that this activity is like putting a T-shirt or sweatshirt on over their head. They should hold the hoop over their head, put their arms through the hoop, put their head through the hoop, and the let the hoop drop to the floor. Step out of the hoop and repeat the action. Ask children to jump into the hoop and pull it up to their waist (just like putting jeans on). Instruct children to sit on the ground and pull the hoop up to mid-calf (just like putting socks on). Ask the children to pull the hoops off their legs and repeat, but this time only pulling the hoop up to their ankles (like putting on shoes).
Set Up for Success
Make sure each child has his or her own hoop.
