Sectioned Hula Hoops

Sectional Hula Hoops: Lightweight, Portable, and Adjustable for Group Fun

Every portable program needs a set of Sectional Hula Hoops—versatile, lightweight hoops made from 18 sections, each approximately 2 feet long. With three hoops per set, you can easily adjust their size from small to large by adding or removing sections, making them perfect for groups of any size.

Key Features

• Adjustable Size: Create small, medium, or large hoops by varying the number of sections.

• Portable & Lightweight: Easy to carry and set up for any activity or location.

• Multiple Hoops: Includes 18 sections to form three separate hoops.

• Durable Construction: Designed for repeated use in various group settings.

Activity Idea: Hoop Pass

• Type: Problem-Solving, Cooperation, Opener/Closer

• Props Needed: Sectional Hula Hoops or webbing circle, stopwatch

• Process:

  1. Have the group form a circle and join hands.

  2. Insert a hoop between two people so it rests on their joined hands.

  3. The group must pass the hoop completely around the circle without letting go of each other’s hands.

  4. Time the group and encourage them to improve their time over multiple attempts.

  5. For added challenge, introduce a second hoop moving in the opposite direction.
