Phase: Activities

Children start with a hoop each. Give time for children to master rolling and following the hoop.

Encourage children to run along side the hoop and push the hoop when it starts to slow.

When the teacher shouts a colour children should try to push and roll their hoop along the floor into that coloured zone. Once a child has entered the coloured zone they can go back out and wait for the next colour.

Instead of shouting out the colour the teacher now holds up a cone to indicate which zone children should enter.

Remove the coloured zones and pick two or three children to be the catchers. The catching children each receive a soft ball. Catching children need to roll or throw their ball through a child's hula hoop to get them out. Children must not guard their hoops with their bodies and try to roll their hoop as much as possible. When out children must exit the area and wait for the next game.

Encourage children to practice rolling their hoop when they exit the game until it is time to join back in the game.
