Team Hoop

Team Hoop

Team Hoop Challenge

Category: Games & Activities
Estimated Time: 10–15 minutes

Items Needed:

  • 1 hula hoop (per group)

Activity Instructions:

Ask the entire group to stand side by side in a straight line and hold hands. Place a hula hoop over the arm of the first person in the line, so it hangs loosely.

Challenge Objective: Without breaking the chain of hands, the team must pass the hula hoop down the line and then back again, maneuvering it over heads, arms, and shoulders — all while staying connected.

Optional Competitive Twist:

For large groups, split participants into multiple teams, each with its own hula hoop. The team that passes the hoop from one end to the other and back first—without letting go—wins.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Encourages collaboration and team problem-solving
  • Promotes non-verbal coordination and trust-building
  • Highlights the importance of patience, rhythm, and group focus

Trainer Tips:

  • Debrief after the activity using questions like:
    • “What worked well as a team?”
    • “Did you find ways to communicate without speaking?”
    • “What would you do differently if we repeated this?”
  • Introduce time pressure or blindfold a few team members to increase difficulty.
  • Reinforce the idea that even simple tasks can be challenging without alignment.

Suggested Similar Activities:

1. Human Knot

Participants form a tangled circle by grabbing random hands across the group. The goal is to untangle the knot into a circle without letting go.
Learning: Communication, patience, and group problem-solving.

2. Pipeline Pass

Each team uses half-pipes or rolled paper tubes to transport a small ball across a distance into a target container. They must pass the ball down the line without dropping it.
Learning: Process alignment, handoffs, and shared accountability.
