I like running a game of hoop combat, like jugglers play.

This is good for adults and kids old enough to play in safely and in good sport.

Basically every one hoops and try to knock each others down while still keeping theirs between their shoulders and knees, not using hands to recover. Once you get out you move out of the playing area to make a circle around the players still in.

This is a fabulous list!  Thanks for compiling it!

I like to use the hoop as a laughter yoga prop, i.e. using it as a giant steering wheel while we do car laughter, doing vertical spins with a friend while we breathe and say "HA!" on each rotation, etc.  I'm working on coming up with a whole bunch of LY exercises using the hoop so I can create a "Happy Hoops" class.

Ooooh, what fun.  I'm just learning to lead laughter yoga now and I'd never considered incorporating hoops as props. Would be fun for handshake (shaking hands through one hoop) and lion (using the hoop as a mane around the face). :-)

This is a fabulous list. Thanks! I teach a hoop class at Youth Villages and we played hoopscotch last week. You basically lay a bunch of hoops out in a path (they can be all in a row, two in a row, overlapping, whatever) and try to walk/hoop/jump through them all to the end. My son made up his own version that involved color coordinating which hoops you could step in for an extra challenge.

Oh that's really clever! I love the color idea, too. I will figure out how to explain this clearly and add it to the list soon. Thanks!
