Hula Hoop Games

Introduction of Hula Hoop

A hula hoop is a round toy made of rattan, grass, bamboo, wood, plastic, etc. The player puts a hula hoop around his waist or other body part and keeps spinning it to keep it from falling to the ground. Players will put the hula hoop around their waist or other body parts, and then keep rotating it to keep it from falling to the ground. In addition to being used as a general toy, hula hoops are often used in competitions, acrobatic performances, or as sports equipment.

Choose the right hula hoop according to your child's physical growth.

Hula hoops are usually about 80-90 centimeters in diameter, medium-sized about 60-70 centimeters, and now there are even small hula hoops about 30 centimeters in diameter for children to use; hula hoops are usually made of hollow plastic, and are very light in weight, so it's not difficult for children to use them.

Hula hoops aren't just for spinning.

There are many different ways to play hula hoops other than just spinning them around your body, such as:

Agility can be developed by throwing a large hula hoop forward and making the hula hoop turn back in the opposite direction.
Use your hands or feet to hang hula hoops and let the children play a shooting game.
There are many different colors in the hula hoop itself so that children can distinguish and recognize the colors during the game.
Use parts of the body and colors to play counting games. Place hula hoops of various colors on the floor and let the teacher decide the color distribution, e.g., red is 1, yellow is 2, blue is 3, and green is 4. When the children walk to the red hula hoops, they use a part of their body to indicate that red is 1. When they walk to the yellow hoops, they use any part of their body to indicate that it is 2, and so on.

Large Muscle Activity + Developing Stimulating Coordination = Hula Hoop Game

Hula hoop is not only a large muscle activity, which also requires a high degree of body coordination (Coordination), different actions must be accumulated experience to stimulate the cultivation of the hula hoop can not only use the waist to do the rotation, but also with the head, hands, feet, etc. to rotate, exercise different parts of the coordination, the key is the ability to sway the body parts of the right degree.
This kind of body coordination is very helpful for early childhood development. Many people grow up with poor body coordination, and even feel that they don't have their own "motor nerves", but in fact, it is often due to a lack of coordination, and if we strengthen it in early childhood, we can get twice the result with half the effort.

Hula Hoop is a very practical tool for the physical development of young children, the U.S. California Department of Education (Department of Education) issued by the preschool education foundations (Preschool Learning Foundations) have beenUsing Hula Hoops as a Physical Developmental Standard for Young ChildrenOne of the best ways to use hula hoops at home with your kids is also a great way to get some parent-child exercise.
