Pre-schoolers gain a better understanding of personal space by playing this modified version of musical chairs. Played like musical chairs, students circle around a ring of hula hoops as music plays. When the music stops everyone needs to find a hoop to stand in. For the first round, everyone gets a hoop and the class has a discussion about personal space. Then as hoops are removed, students must squeeze together in hoops. Try to keep playing until only a few hoops are left!
