Pass the Hoop

Japanese name: フープ送り

Materials

First practice stepping through the hoop individually. Then stand in a line, lightly hold hands and place the hoop over the first player’s arm.
On the signal, pass head and feet through in turn, moving the hoop toward the joined hands. Neighbors help by moving their bodies.
Sending it to the end while holding hands is success. Release hands whenever the position feels uncomfortable.
If hands separate, pause, reconnect there and continue. There is no need to restart from the beginning.
Once it reaches the end, swap the front and back players. Pass in the opposite direction too, finishing when everyone has tried.

Preschool children: no hand-holding. Older primary school children: still avoid strained postures.
