Game Description:
An awesome relay game that you probably have never played before, all you need is a hula hoop!
Objective:
To complete the hula hoop challenge relay before the other teams do.
Game Rules:
Divide the group into 2 or more teams of equal numbers. Give the first person in each group a hula hoop. Set up a cone about 30 feet directly in front of each group. Give the children a skill that they must do with the hula hoop to the cone and back, for example have them skip through it. On your signal the first person in each group will skip through the hoop to the cone and back and then hand the hoop to the next person in line. The first team to complete the challenge AND be sitting down quietly wins!
