Instructions

Set up the game board. Choose a level, open playing field for this game. Lay out your hula hoops in a three by three grid, just like a tic tac toe board drawn on paper. The hula hoops should be positioned so that there is little to no space between the hoops.
If you're playing this game inside on hard floor, use masking tape to create your human tic tac toe board. On cement, you can draw the board with chalk.
Check for holes, dangerous garbage (like broken glass), and other hazards, like roots or rocks, to prevent these from causing an injury while you play.
If you're playing this game with many people, you might want to set up several game boards. This game works best with one to three players per team


Determine the teams. Human tic tac toe can be played one-on-one or with teammates. When playing with teammates, each team should have no more than three members. Separate teams so that there are two teams per board. Teams should stand opposite of each other with the game board in between.
Playing with more than three members per team is possible, but this will slow the game down and might bore younger players.

Give each player two bean bags. Teammates should have the same colour bean bags, but opposing teams should have different colours bags.

et up a start marker. Set a start marker, like a cone, on opposing sides of the board, with each marker 15 feet (4.6 m) away from the game board. Each teams should line up behind a single start marker.
Feel free to adjust the distance between the start markers and game board. A longer relay may be more suitable for older players, and shorter ones younger children.[6]

Run the tic tac toe relay. Have a judge yell “1, 2, 3 – go!” Players might also start on a three count. Once the signal is given, players should run to the board and place their marker in an open square. When that player returns and high-fives the next teammate in line back at the start marker, that teammate can run to place their marker and return to tag the next player, and so on.
Players should continue to run the relay until one team gets three squares in a row or the game ends in a draw.

Shuffle teams and play again, if desired. After two games, shuffle players between teams to keep things fresh and exciting. Have players track their wins. After several rounds, have a special Round of Champions between the players who have the most combined wins. The winning team will be the Grand Champions.






Add obstacles to your game of human tic tac toe. Place starting markers on opposite sides of the board. Each marker should be an equal distance from the game board. Then:
Require players to spin a hula hoop 10 times around their waist on their way to the game board.
Place tires between the starting mark and the game board. Players should step into the centers of the tires on their way to the game board.
Set an obstacle for players to jump over on their way to the game board, like a tall, sturdy box, a hurdle, and so on.
Require players to perform an activity, like jumping rope, playing hopscotch, shooting a basket in a toy hoop, and so on, before they can proceed to the game board.
