Giant Tic Tac Toe

Set-Up

This game requires nine hula hoops and ten beanbags-five of one color and five of another. Lay the nine hula hoops on the floor like a tic-tac-toe grid and divide the students into two teams.

You could substitute the hula hoops for circles drawn with chalk, and use other objects instead of beanbags.

How To Play

Both teams must line up some distance from the hula hoops at a starting line. When the coach says “GO,” player one from the first team runs to the hula hoops, drops a beanbag into the hoop of their choice, and then runs back as quickly as possible. As soon as that player returns, player one from the second team does the same, running to the hoops and dropping a beanbag into another hoop, attempting to block the other team from winning (just like in regular tic-tac-toe).

If any player accidentally kicks the hula hoops out of formation, they must stop and re-form the grid.
