Week 27: March 9-13, 1998
IA Name: Hoopla Shuffle
Grade Level: K-3
Equipment:
One hoop for every child, cones to define the activity area.
Directions:
As students enter the gym have them find a hoop in the activity area to stand in. On the teachers signal, encourage
students to show you how they can move the hoop around and through the general space using
only their feet, making sure to change pathways in order not to bump into
anyone else. Once you've observed their movements and
whether they are moving safely and changing pathways, pinpoint students
to demonstrate the following movements (and any others) for students to try:
- Students shuffle the hoop by having both feet inside the hoop, remaining
in contact with the floor.
- Students use one foot inside the hoop with the other foot outside the hoop.
- Students use both feet outside the hoop and shuffle kick it (like
dribbling a soccer ball). These MUST be soft kicks however.
- Students twirl the hoop around one ankle while "jumping" the other foot
over it.
To make it more interesting tell them that when they hear you say "SWITCH" that means they are to find a new hoop to move with.
