The teacher sets up the playing area by placing hoops (one, or almost one, per player) on the floor.
The students start in a scattered formation.
On the teacher’s command (e.g. when the music starts), students will move around the playing area while avoiding the hoops.
On the teacher’s second command (e.g. when the music stops), students must race to the hoop closest to them and stand inside the hoop in a balanced position (e.g. on one foot).
On the next command, students continue to move around the playing area.
Movement Skills
The teacher may request that students move using certain movement skills only (e.g. skipping, hoping, galloping). This will provide students with an opportunity to practice these skills.
Melting Hoops
While the students are moving around the playing area, the teacher may remove some hoops from the game. On the teacher’s command, students must race to the hoop closest to them and balance. However, since there are fewer hoops than before, students will be removed from the game until there is only one player left. The winner!
