Hoops & Balls Chaos

This activity is intended to highlight the advantages of cooperation as opposed to competition.

Set up three hoops one in the center with all kinds of objects (preferrably ones that wouldn’t hurt someone if they were hit by one) and divide the group into two “teams”.  Explain that the object of the game is to get as many balls in your hoop as possible and that each person can only carry or hold one item at a time.  It is a timed game (1 minute works well).  Then let them go.  You may also want to add it that another rule is that they care for everyone well so that the chaos is controlled.
