Amazing game! I motivate students to switch by adding challenges (total hoops, every red hoop, farthest hoops, every boy, etc.). Also, when I blow the whistle it scares all the hawks out of their nests and they go to a new nest, even if they never communicated with that student.
Thanks! Great game. I added having the birds make achievements like go to every red hoop, make the longest trade, go around the world, etc. I found it helps encourage trading and justifies "no" responses.
I also play two non-verbal versions - sound is ok but no words and totally silent. I encourage them to make bird noises for the first non-verbal. They love it!
Not sure if I missed the explanation but, what is stopping those kids who never want to leave the Hula Hoop? is there a rule to make them want to switch?
I’ve never had students who don’t want to leave the hoop. But you could make a bonus ‘motivation’ rule to see if students can switch to every single hoop before the end of the round.
@@physedgames 1-2-3 SWITCH podes empezar con este juego. todos en un aro . los que no tienen aro lo tienen que pedir tocandoles 3 veces la espalda y entran., el que estaba en el aro, debe salir a buscar otro aro. ( Les gusta echar a los chicos que estan en el aro y ellos ocupar un espacio .)
I've been having the issue where the students are purposely going slow or not trying to get to another hoop so that they can become a Hawk. Similar to when I do a tag game and kids chase the tagger trying to get tagged. lol
I hear ya. Try adding a rule to see if players can successfully switch into every hoop without becoming a hawk….might stop some of that…or might not hah
Can add to this by giving everyone a basketball. So as they leave their nest, they need to dribble the ball to the other nest.

This is awesome! It is a brilliant tool to help kids on the spectrum learn how to communicate better. Thank you 💙
Very welcome!
Looks wonderful. I am going to try this tomorrow with my K, self contained K-4 classes, 1, & 2 this week!!! Thank you so much

This is absolute genius.
Could not believe how much fun the kids had.
The activities are awesome. Thank you for sharing, from Turkey.

great idea , I will try it when we return to school - from china
Hunter Hawks - verbal or non verbal?
@@MichelleMcNearney I play verbal, but I guess it could work either way. It’s super fun, you’re students will love it
Is it only 2 kids switching at a time or all kids?
All kids

Same, I changed it to if the hawk steals your nest you're out of the game for a minute and need to sit down in your nest.
