Game Description:
A quick paced, multi skilled game
Objective:
To avoid being struck by a hula hoop
Game Rules:
Place hula hoops flat on the group, scattered around the playing field. Players kick the hoops along the ground, trying to hit another player in the foot. When a player is hit by a hoop they must sit down and remain seated until the player that hit them gets hit.
Saftey Considerations:
Create clear boundaries for the children to run into. Be sure to remind the children they are kicking the hula hoop when it is flat on the ground.
