Phase: Activities

The class will be divided into mini groups (depending on class numbers - roughly 3 groups with 8 students in each) and form giant cirlces by linking hands and placing a hula hoop around the arms of linked students. Students will then have to work together to get the hula hoop around the circle back to the starting player in order to complete the task. Allow students to have have a few practise rounds before having a group discussion regarding strategies, communication etc before having another go.

PROGRESSIONS:

- If groups are finding it too easy, introduce more than one hula hoop to increase difficulty
- combine the whole class and create one giant circle, start with one hula hoop. Time the first round, then see if the class can beat this time on the second round. If there is enough time, add in more hula hoops and time the rounds again. 
- Groups must go in a clockwise, then anti-clockwise direction before finishing the task
- Can time groups individually to see how long they take - this will be the groups time they have to try and beat the following round. 
- Introduce an elimination round, out of the three groups eliminate the slowest so there are two groups facing off in a final.
