Game Description:
Two teams race to move from one end of the gym to the other in a relay style race. The team that works together the best will win the game! All you need is one hula hoop per team.
Objective:
To reach the other end of the gym as a team before the opposing team.
Game Rules:
Divide the class into 2 teams. Each team holds hands and gets into a line that begins at the goal line and extends towards the center line. A hula hoop starts at the front of the line and each person must go through the hula hoop to pass it down the line. Once the hula hoop reaches the end of the line, the line pivots around the end person (this person is not able to move when they are at the end of the line). The hula hoop then continues down the line across the gym. The first team to reach the other end of the gym (or to the other end and back) wins.
Tip: Stretching out the line too far slows down the process (because the pivot person at the end cannot move).
Saftey Considerations:
Remind the children to be gentle with the hands of the people beside them.
