Skip Counting With Hopscotch

Equipment list

  • 20 hula hoops

  • Numbered bean bags

Explanation

Numbered bean bags are spread out in the center of the gym, or outdoor area. Four stations are set up in each corner of the gym. Each station has 5 hula hoops.

Students are divided into four groups by numbering off. Each team lines up behind the hula hoops of their station.

Each group will be given the number that they will skip by. (1,2,5 or 10) Before they start jumping, the students will need to find number bean bags to put in the remaining hula hoops. Once the beanbags are in the hula hoops, each group member will jump through each hoop while saying each number.

Students are reminded to be respectful of all learners and to have fun. This activity is non-competitive.
