-Mise en place:
-
Place 1 hula hoop in the center of the playing area and then place the other hula hoops equal distance apart.
-
Place the 4 sets of 4 different HealthySpots (Use 1 vegetable, 1 fruit, 1 protein, and 1 grain) in the centre hula hoop.
-
3-4 players stand behind their assigned hula hoop.
-Instructions:
-
On the signal to begin the first player from each team runs to the center hoop and brings back a HealthyFood Spot.
-
The first person tags the hand of the second player in line who goes to the center hoop and brings back a second spot of a different food.
-
Continue till all the HealthyFood spots are removed from the middle hoop.
-
When there are no more HealthyFood Spots in the middle hoop, players (still one at a time from each group) run to the hoops of other teams to take one of their spots—teams cannot obstruct players from taking their FoodGroup Flags.
-
The first team to get all four food groups is the winner—If no team seems to be finishing their plate add a couple more food groups to the middle. If a team wins too quickly remove one or more HealthyFood Spots from the middle and play again.
