P.E. Game: "Hula Hoop Squeeze"

Hula hoop squeeze is a great instant activity for students in K-4 P.E. classes. This "musical chairs"-type game is great for practicing locomotor movements, moving in general space, and problem solving. Easy to modify and adjust for all ages!

This worked! Thank you for the idea! I added a twist to it, but your blueprint is phenomenal!

[@jbuster9]

What was your twist?

Love the name, love how the in includes math/problem solving skills. I do a variation of this but instead of hoops students toe-touch in groups

What are ideas for when kids are “out” in this game? Do they get “out”? Thank you so much for your ideas! I’m subbing PE long term and it’s brand new to me so this is a lifesaver! 😘

Thanks for the support!
We normally only play for 5-10 mins as a warmup, so usually I never have anyone “out”. But I like to make rounds harder by either taking away hoops, or leaving them all out and giving specific rules (certain colors are “closed” or must have a certain # of students in each hoop, less time, etc.).

Also, I teach in a pretty small space (or outside)…not a gym. Do you have any small space ideas you could post? That’s a tough one.

@@onlyheike There are some station ideas that might work in smaller spaces. Check out the rest of the channel!

@@onlyheike instead of making any children go out, you can make them perform an exercise as a forfeit ie: 10 star jumps
