hula hoop

1. children are scattered throughout the activity area, standing in their hoops
2. announce a movement sequence using the words “in, out, over” and “around”
3. participants execute the movements as quickly or slowly as you would like using the hoop (i.e., around – child goes around the hoop)

Change the environment: have the child hold onto a parent or adult during the activity to decrease physical demand

Change the task: have the child copy someone doing the activity with their hoop to decrease cognitive demand

Change the environment: have child complete the activity close to another child to increase physical and social demand

Change the task: have the child complete a movement for a longer period of time to increase physical demand

• the child will be able to demonstrate 3 different movements with their hoop
• I can do my best to follow the movements with my friends
