Don't Throw Your Garbage in Your Neighbour's Yard!

Here's another great game from Jane Maddin.

Equipment: Hula hoops (or rope set out in circles on the ground), one for each team. And bean bags, 6 per hula hoop.
Number: teams of 5 or 6 children.
Source: The 4th Girl Guides of Wandering Hills District, Calgary Area

Put a hula hoop or loop of rope in each corner of your play area. Put equal numbers of bean bags in each hula hoop. Divide the kids into teams of 5 or 6, each team stands by 'their' hula hoop. This is their yard! Yell Go! Each group has to empty their hula hoop by carrying the bean bags one per trip to another team's yard. The bean bags have to be put into the other team's yard - tossing is acceptable if the bean bag lands in the hoop, if not they have to retrieve it and put it in. Watch out for the other team members so that you do not bump into each other. Count the number of bean bags in each hoop at the end of the game (10 minutes) and the team with the fewest bean bags (the least garbage) wins.
