Game with hoops: 5 Totally Great Games to Play with a Hula Hoop
5 Totally Great Games to Play with a Hula Hoop
Think a hula hoop is only good for…well, hula hooping? We’ve got some awesome games that will change the way you look at these plastic circular toys. Whether it’s just you and your child or a group of his little friends, there’s plenty of fun to be had. Best of all, you can adjust each game for the number of children playing, along with their age ranges and ability levels.
Get out there and have a hooping good time with these five games:
1. Block the Beanbag
Set two hula hoops on the grass and grab a beanbag (or small ball). To play, stand in one hoop and have your child stand in the other. Take turns trying to land the beanbag in each other’s hoop while the other player tries to block the throw.
For older players, try to block without using hands, and feel free to add more hoops for additional children.

2. Hula-Hoop Basketball
Is the grown-up net at the playground too high for your little sports lover? Make your own! Hang the hoop on a low-lying tree branch (you can loop some string to help) and let your child throw a ball through the hoop to his heart’s content. For younger players, start out low and move the hoop to a higher branch as they get the hang of it.

3. Hoops Obstacle Course
If you’re spending the day at the beach—or heading to a playground with plenty of sand—make your own obstacle course by burying the bottom third of a few hula hoops in the sand and having your child tunnel through, hop over, or run circles around them.
No sand to be found? Lay the hula hoops on the ground and create fun rules for hopping in and out of them—like hopping on one foot or spinning in a circle. For younger players, try holding up the hoop and having them step through it.
A Lifetime Of Confidence Starts Here
Our teachers help every child build the confidence they need to try new things and explore the world around them.

4. Ring Around the Bottle
Have a soft spot for the classic fairway game? Introduce it to your little one by setting up a few milk jugs or plastic bottles full of water on the grass a few feet apart. Have him try to toss the hoop to land on top of one of the bottles and repeat! For older players, start moving the hoop further and further away from the bottles for a bigger challenge.

5. Rolling Hoop Catch
Show your child how to roll the hula hoop along the ground and have her try to catch it before it falls to the ground. Roll it back and forth, counting how many times you can catch and roll without letting it rest.

10 Hula Hoop Games and Activities
With all the fun equipment in the PE cupboard, a Hula Hoop might not be the first thing that catches your eye.
However, with a little imagination and creative thinking, the possibilities are endless! To help get you started, we’ve put together our top 10 Hula Hoop games:
1. Hula Hoop Team Link
The aim of this fun team game is to pass a Hula hoop through your team by climbing in and out of it without breaking the team link. Start by standing side-by-side holding hands. Begin to pass the hoop, but if you break the link, you must start again! Why not race your friends and see which team can complete the challenge first?
2. Bean Bag Toss
Create a quick and simple bean bag toss using Hula hoops. Simply scatter some hoops on the floor, we used a variation of sizes to make it more challenging! We also used Numbered Markers as a point system to track each players score. Each player gets 5 Beanbags, the player with the highest score at the end wins!
3. Rock, Paper, Scissors, Hula Hoop!
Split the group of players in half and lay out 20 Hula Hoops in a straight line.
Each team stands on one end of the line and when the whistle blows, 1 player from each team must jump 2-footed into the hoops
making their way down the line. When the players meet in the middle, they play rock, paper, scissors. Whoever loses the game returns to their team. The winner continues to jump ahead and the next player from
the opposing team jumps until they meet in the middle. When a player jumps from one side of the line to the other, without being defeated, they win a point for their team.
4. Dolphin Island Tag
To play this game, you will need some Marker cones, Hula Hoops and a Dolphin (tagger). Simply, mark out the playing area using cones and scatter the hoops out within the area. The rest of the players must get
away from the Dolphin and try not to be tagged. The inside of the Hula hoops are safe zones, and a player can only stay on the island for 5 seconds at a time. The Dolphin cannot tag a player on an island, and the
game ends when all the players have been tagged!
5.
Obstacle Course
Get creative and create an Obstacle course! Our obstacle course involved a tyre run using 6 hoops, crawling through a hoop using Plastic Bases and putting the hoop over your head and drop it to your feet to run back and tag the next team mate. The team to complete the course first wins!
6. Bean Bag Stash
For this game you will need 4 teams of 2 players. Assign each team a colour: Red/Blue/Green or Yellow. Lay 4 hoops on the floor to make a square, each hoop should represent each team colour. Each hoop will have 10 team coloured beanbags inside. When the whistle blows, the aim of the game is to defend your teams bean bags and grab others from the opposing teams. The teams with the most bean bags after 1-minute wins!
7. Skipping
Using a large Hula hoop, you can practice your skipping! Simply hold the Hoop in front of your waist and skip into the hoop and swing it over your head and repeat.
8. Hula Hoop Pass
Work in pairs and practice rolling Hula hoops to one another.
To make it more difficult, try swapping hoops at the same time. Make it a competition, the team to make the first 20 successful passes wins!
9. Hula Hoop Marathon
Practice your Hula hooping skills and try a Hula Hoop Marathon! Get together in a group and start hula hooping at the same time, the person who can hula for the longest wins!
10. Ring Toss
A fairground favourite! Using Noodles, hoops and cones, create your own ring toss! Lay out the noodles in a triangle shape and take turns to throw the hoops over the noodles. The player who can get the most points out of 5 wins! Why not make it more difficult and lay out the noodles in different formations? or number them for different points.

Games with a hoop. nine0003
Almost every girl, as well as a boy, had a sports hoop in her childhood. We played hoop with friends for hours, competing in dexterity: we twisted the hoop on our hands, knees, hips and, of course, on the waist, not thinking about the fact that this is not just a fun game, but also a wonderful health-improving exercise.
Games with a hoop form the correct posture, improve the condition of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, provide a versatile training of movement coordination, visual, auditory, motor memory. They contribute to the development of basic motor qualities (strength, speed, agility and endurance) and help orientation in space, influence the formation of moral and volitional qualities (endurance, perseverance, mutual assistance, discipline, etc.), educate the desire to perform the exercise not only correctly , but also beautifully, develop a reaction to the signal.
nine0003
The progenitor of the hoop was a round object made of bamboo stalks, with which the Australians enjoyed having fun. In 1957, a metal hoop was made in America and called the hula hoop, combining the name of the Hawaiian dance “hyla” and the English word “hoop” – rim, hoop. In Russia, the hoop appeared a little later – in the early 1960s and immediately gained popularity among girls and girls. Then two types of hoops were common: hollow metal and plastic, even a child could twist them. nine0003
Card file of hoop games.
“One, two, three, run into the hoop.”
The hoops are laid out in a circle. Children walk to the music, stepping from hoop to hoop. On a signal: “One, two, three, run out of the hoop!” throughout the site. On a signal: “One, two, three, run into the hoop!” run to the hoops. There must be one child in each hoop. When repeating the game, the number of hoops can be reduced, but at the end – put the hoops according to the number of children.
Roll the ball in the tunnel.
Several participants in the game stand in a line at a distance of 1 m from each other. In the right hand they hold a hoop, touching the floor with it. The rest of the players take balls with a diameter of 15-20 cm. They take turns bending over and pushing their ball with both hands so that it rolls through the hoop. Then they crawl behind him into the hoop, pushing the ball into the next hoop. When the game is repeated, the children change roles. The child whose ball rolled out of the tunnel steps aside. nine0003
Cat and Mouse.
On one side of the site, hoops are laid out in a line at a short distance from each other – these are “minks” for “mice”. At a distance of 3 m from the “minks” – a line, “cats” live behind it. On a signal: “mice”, “mice” run out of the “minks”, run around the site. “Cats” are “sleeping” at this time. On a signal: “cats and mice”, “cats” run out from behind the line and try to catch the “mice” (smoke them with their hands). And the “mice” run to the “minks” and jump into them.
Then the children switch roles.
Roll the hoop into the gate.
(from 5 years old)
The players hold the hoop with their hands with a grip from above, stand in one line. Opposite each player, a gate 60-80 cm wide is made using any two objects. On a signal, the children run and roll the hoop, pushing it with their right hand. The winner is the one who has never dropped the hoop and rolled it into the gate. The game can be made more difficult by rolling the hoop between the posts on the way to the goal.
“Who will swim across the ice floe faster?”
(from 4 years old)
Children are divided into two teams. The first players stand in hoops. On a signal, they begin to move to the rack, moving the hoop forward with their toes.

“Throw the ball through the hoop.”
(from 6 years old)

(from 5 years old)
Children line up at the start in two columns.
The first players have hoops in their hands. On a signal, the first player with a hoop in his hand runs to the post, runs around it, returns to the start and picks up the player with the second number. And already two participants in the competition run to the rack, run around it and return to the start, etc. The team that transported their friends the fastest wins.
Horse riding.
(from 5 years old)

“From bump to bump.”
(from 3 years old)
Children stand in one side of the hall or sports ground. The teacher lays out hoops on the floor (ground) at a small distance (20 cm) from one another. At the signal of the teacher, the children move to the other side of the site, stepping from hoop to hoop.
“Who will quickly roll the hoop to the flag.”
(from 6 years old)
The players are divided into links, stand one after another behind the starting line. Flags (pins) are located at a distance of 10-15 m from them. The first player in each column holds a hoop and a wand. On a signal: “Kati!” children roll hoops towards the flags, pushing with a stick, run around the flag, return to their columns, pass the baton to the next players. The game ends when the last person in the column completes the task. The team that finishes the game the fastest wins. nine0003
“To the right, to the left, in front – hit the hoop for sure.”
(from 6 years old)
