Can be utilized in the context of a variety of games during physical education, daily life, etc. The size, number and manner of display (hanging, on the floor, etc.) of the hula-hoops can be flexibly adapted to suit the objectives and disabilities of the students. |
| Expected effects and results | By providing a sense of achievement when a target is hit, students are motivated to concentrate more and to develop their tool-handling coordination to hit the targets. Through the game, students learn about following simple rules and working together with friends, all while having fun. |
| How to use | Use carabiners to attach the hula-hoops to one another to create targets. Change the size and number of hula-hoops to suit the desired difficulty and goals of the exercise. In this example, a three-by-three (nine hula-hoops in total) grid was constructed, fastened between bars and then hung by rope. (Different points can be assigned to each hula-hoop, or pictures, noise-makers, etc., can hung inside the hula-hoops to increase students' motivation to concentrate on the targets.) The different teams had fun aiming beach-balls at the hula-hoops using baseball bats to try and score points. Flying disks or other items can be used in place of beach-balls to make a fun target practice game. |
