Set Up

Designate a large play area with clear boundaries that has enough room for students to run.

How to Play

  • Hula hoops are scattered about the play area with one football in each hula hoop and partners should be seated by their hula hoop.
  • On your signal to begin, all players move around the play area, grabbing footballs (one at a time) from other hula hoops (not their own) and return it to their own hoop.
  • Players are not allowed to “guard” the football(s) in their hoop.
  • The first team to get four footballs in their own hula hoop should yell “Bingo” and a new round will begin.

Variations
