Scatter hula-hoops or rings throughout the large group play area. Use music or a signal to cue movement. Children move about stepping anywhere except inside a hoop. When the music stops, everyone finds a hoop and steps inside as quickly as possible. To be considered “inside” the hoop, a child must have at least one foot inside. When the game continues, the teacher removes one hoop. Continue playing and removing hoops until the children cannot possibly squeeze any more children into the remaining hoops.
