Lastly, Dice in Dice is a product I got (google it!) to use with this activity - especially if you are incorporating the addition/subtraction/multiplication/division in this. 72 Dice come in a jug for about $14-$19. The dice are colorful, transparent, and have a small white die inside the bigger transparent die making it easy to roll one die, but really be rolling 2 to easily incorporate the math!!! Have fun!!!

At the top of the pyramid, I encountered some confusion with younger ones making too many tally marks if they did win the roll. Most understood to make one tally mark, but one in one class, when I saw there were several tally marks on the poster I realized the students thought they were supposed to make a tally for each hoop level at which they won. In another class, one student started a trend of kids making as many tally marks as were on the final dice roll, so if the dice roll was a 5 and a 3, the person who rolled 5 made 5 tally marks!!! Oy!!! Needlesstosay, all of these variants became part of the directions of what NOT to do!

For Kindergarten, I didn't even make a pyramid! I just put 7 or 8 hula hoops in a circle in the middle of the gym and the students sat and rolled the dice with a friend, the student with the low number got to get up and run an Olympic Lap (which we practiced first before teaching the dice rolling part) and the other student sat with his/her hand up waiting for a new opponent to come roll the dice with them. Seemed a bit less competitive without the climbing up the pyramid element. They loved it!!!

I quickly realized it really didn't matter if 2 students from opposite teams or 2 students from same teams versed each other, in fact at the top of the pyramid it kind of took some of the pressure off if 2 from the same team were versing each other because they knew their "team" would get a point either way no matter who won the roll, it just was a matter of which student would run the fitness lap (Olympic training lap) or not.

Secondly, it helped my students quite a bit when I taught this in 2 parts. I taught them the fitness lap FIRST before even mentioning the hoop pyramid or the dice rolling concepts. After a few students demonstrated the fitness lap all students got up and did the fitness lap 3 times - this got their initial energy out and helped them experience what the fitness lap was like. It was good, assessment-wise, for me to see if they understood what I expected of them when they were to do the lap. After teaching them the fitness lap, we sat in front of a large poster/picture I made of the hula hoop pyramid set up and I taught them the dice rolling part.

When I first taught this, some of my students (K-2) initially had a hard time with "losing" (getting the lower number).Ok, some cried, some stomped, some were in denial and moved up to the next level making the person who did win get angry.This activity has many teachable moment opportunities for teaching about winning and losing and how to have good sportsmanship (and I felt myself being extra careful about using the terms winning and losing!). In horror, I even heard one or two students say "Ha Ha, I won, you LOSE!" after a successful roll - prompting me to add into the directions that after a roll they needed to say "Good game" before moving on (you could even have them shake hands, I suppose).

Thanks for sharing. Would you mind also sending me the diagram and written instructions? My e-mail is kurmangs@olatheschools.org. Also, what happens if wo people from the same team meet in the end? Do they wait for someone from the other team? Thanks!]]> Tue, 01 Nov 2011 16:40:03 GMT http://www.peuniverse.com/Videos/VideoDetail/tabid/221/indexId/824/currentpage/1/Default.aspx#comment-2254

If you have boys vs girls or team vs team, when they face off at all of the hula hoops does it have to be a girl vs boy battle or can it be boy vs boy and so on. Also when they leave the red level for example they have five winners but only four blue hoops. Does the fifth person just wait for a hoop to be open and then wait for an opponent to join them. Finally when they get to the championship if there are two girls there do they wait for a boy to arrive to do the championship round??.....I hope i didnt confuse you hopefully i explained it ok.
