Musical Hoops is a fun game for physical education in which students get to explore a variety of fundamental movement skills. With balancing acts along the way, this game is guaranteed to bring out some giggles!
An open playing area with hoops scattered across the floor, roughly one per player. Students begin in a scattered formation.
When the music stops, get to the nearest hoop and hold a balanced position inside it.
Students should keep their eyes up to avoid contact with other students.
Builds allow you to increase the game's complexity, one layer at a time.
The teacher may request that students move using certain movement skills only, such as skipping, hopping, or galloping.
This gives students an opportunity to practise a range of skills within the same game.
While students are moving about the playing area, the teacher removes some hoops from the game.
On the teacher's command, students race to the hoop closest to them and balance. However, since there are now fewer hoops than players, students must find a way to balance while sharing their hoop with other players.
