Hula Hoop Activities

Hula Hoop Scramble
Lay several hula hoops on the floor and have each child stand inside of a hoop. Play
music and the children must move around the room (outside of the hoops). When the
music stops they must run and get into a hoop. The teacher will then remove a hoop
and begin the music. The children will dance around and when the music stops again
they must get in a hoop. This will repeat until the game is down to one hoop. There is
no loser in this game. When hoops are removed it just means that more children will
have to crowd into the hoops.
No one is out.

Pass the Hula Hoop
Have the children join hands and form a circle. Place one hula hoop on a child's arm.
As the music plays the children have to pass the hula hoop around the circle without
letting go of each other's hands. They must scoot their body head to toe through the
hoop. The children race the music to get the hoop around the circle. This game
continues until everyone has gotten through the hoop.
