My Project

I want to help my students exercise using hula-hoops to stay active and increasing their balance. The children will love learning with the hula-hoops while strengthening their heart, working their brain, and increasing their balance. Besides using hula-hoops for throwing targets, and spinning around the waist and arm, I also like to use hula-hoops for students who are just learning how to jump rope.

The children will love learning with hula-hoops and benefit from the joy of playing with a hula hoop, and the many different games that we will be playing with them.

The children will be use the hula-hoops and balance them while moving. I am requesting hula-hoops for my physical education program. Currently, all of our hula-hoops have been so well loved that they are kinked, cracked or completely broken. I am requesting new hopes so that my students will be able to learn to hula-hoop, be active, dance, and complete a variety of games with the hula-hoops.
