Helim Hoops: A New Variation

Have you ever tried Helium stick with a hoola hoop?  If you haven’t check it out.  The bigger the hoop, the better.  It does make it a little easier since the group is all looking at each other in a circle formation but it still works.  BUT here’s how to step it up a notch!

Take multiple hoops and lay them on the ground.  Position 4-5 people around each hoop depending how big they are.  Position one person as a "link" between the hoops so that person will be have to manage 2 hoops.  They will be your "connector" of the hoops.

The hoops all start at a common level as with the stick.  Same rules apply.
1. Elbows bent and index fingers extended.
2. Hoop lays on top of fingers.
3. No bending or curling fingers around hoop.
4. Hoops must be lowered together and placed on floor.
5. Hoops must stay in contact with fingers throughout exercise.

Facilitator note:  You may have to let the “connector” people reposition their bodies slightly along the way.  This variation is difficult.  It is meant for higher functioning groups.  You may not want to be 100% strict on the “contact” rule but don’t let them cheat.
