GAME: Hoop Attack TYPE: Foundational Movement
CYCLE: I, II ACTIVITY LEVEL: Low-Moderate
TACTICS: Moving around in space, experimentation, adaptability, etc.
QEP: Locomotor, non-locomotor and manipulation skills, teamwork, disassociation, etc.
DESCRIPTION
Layer 1: Students are given a hula hoop and are told to find their own place within the playing surface. Students are not allowed to locomote. In their space, they practice ways of manipulating the hula hoop while making sure to keep it close (no throwing or rolling).
Layer 2: Students are asked to put their hula hoops down on the floor and then told that they can only stand outside it. They must find ways that they can move around and/or over the hula hoop in their spot. Hula hoops must stay on the floor and students are not allowed to touch it until told to.
Layer 3: Students pick up the hula hoop and are allowed to locomote around the playing space. Once again they practice ways of manipulating the hula hoop and try to find ways of locomoting with it.
Layer 4: Students drop hula hoops back on the ground and move around the playing surface, manoeuvring around the hula hoops. When the teacher yells “HOOP”, the students must find an unoccupied hula hoop and stand in it. Students help other students by signalling that there is some around them. When every student is in standing in a hula hoop, students are told to continue moving around space.
Layer 5: When teacher shouts a colour, the students must find a hula hoop of that colour and place one foot inside it. More than one student is allowed to put their foot in the same hula hoop.
MODIFICATIONS:
- Hula hoop colours are uneven (example: lots of yellow, one pink)
- Students are paired up.
- Pursuit and Evade game play: last 3 students to find hoop become taggers.
SAFETY:
- Keep hula hoop close, no throwing or swinging.
- When crowding to hula hoop, no pushing or shoving.
- Avoid others when moving in the space.
