Hula Hoop and Balls
Children need to be active every day in order to promote healthy growth and development. Children are more likely to carry on patterns of healthy lifestyle if the patterns are established early on in their lives. Burn off energy by keeping your child active and engaged using hula hoop and balls!
The idea of this activity is to encourage your child to gather the balls around the space and place them inside the hula hoop.
-
1. Find a space free of obstacles so your child can maneuver safely.
-
2. Place the hula hoop on the floor and spread out the balls around the space.
Explain the purpose of the activity to your child. “I need to place the balls into the hoop, do you think you can help me?”. Challenge your child by giving different verbal cues each round, “now we are going to gather all the yellow balls into the hoop...”
