For this activity, you will need a large open space such as a schoolyard or gymnasium and many Hula-Hoops.

1. Explain to the Navigators the four main points of a compass (North, South East, and West) and that the triangles you have outlined represent them. (See diagram below.)
2. Place the Hula-Hoops into the triangles in the COMPASS formation (The points may contain different number of Hula-Hoops.) and check that the Navigators know what each set of Hula-Hoops represents. (See Sample Layout below).
3. Have all the Navigators stand in the middle of the space ready to run. When the group leader calls a Compass direction out loud the Navigators must run to that Compass point and stand in one of the hula-hoops there with at least one foot inside a Hula-Hoop.
4. After each round a hula-hoop will be removed from the called compass point. The object of the game is to have all of the Navigators work together to reach the final hula-hoop at the end of the game with at least one foot each in the last hula-hoop.
5. ***Add-On: You can have the participants switch directions in the middle of their path by throwing in a weather delay. Example: Call north, but then add in that there is a blizzard and now everyone needs to run south. You may also add in a twist where they must have both feet in a hula-hoop due to shark being in the water. Feel free to run wild with your imagination.
