WV Good Sams Fall
2011 Samboree Contest
Hula Hoop Hoopla Contest
Which favorite toy pastime is fun for all ages and makes adults nostalgic for their childhood? Hula-hooping, of course! Stock up on inexpensive hula hoops and try your hand.er, hips. Bring your own hoops to this contest!! We will have different age divisions!
1. Hula Hoop Contest: Challenge: Turn the sound system on to upbeat music and watch the clock. The person who can hula the hoop longest, wins. (Jess is in charge of music.)
2. Hula Hoop Jumping: Put a fresh spin on an old game of jump rope. Use a very large hula hoop to jump and skip around the Samboree. The one who jumps the most times wins.
3. Person who can get the most hula hoops moving at one time for a minimum of 10 seconds.
4. Hula Mastery: Try to copy the incredible skills of Cirque du Soleil hoop performers. Start out with one hoop on your arm, and then add another spinning hoop to your other arm. Once both hoops are spinning in time, try to pick up a hoop from the ground with your foot and spin it around your ankle. Bravo! Best performance wins.
5. Note: must be registered for the fall 2011 Samboree and camping on the grounds to participate!
6. First aid kit and ice packs will be on stand-by!
