HULA HOOP TWISTING - 3 Engaging Activities
TWISTING A HULA HOOP
With one hand, stand a hula hoop in front of your body
Extend your arm so the hoop can not touch your body
Turn your wrist, twisting the hoop as quickly as possible
Step away allowing the hoop to spin until it comes to a complete stop
My students have been twisting hoops for years. It began as a challenge. “Twist your hoop, then run to a wall and return before the hoop comes to a stop.” “Can you touch two walls and return before it stops? Three?” The students loved this challenge, pushing themselves to go for the extra wall.
I soon began to brainstorm other ways to use the hula hoop twisting skill.
