HOOLA HOOPS
The hula hoop player starts hooping, while reciting the times
table category that she has chosen. For example, if she has
chosen the 6 times table, she should recite "6, 12, 18, 24 ..." as
she keeps the hula hoop up. Using a stopwatch or other kind of
timer, the note taker keeps track of how long the hula hooper
keeps the hoop going while still managing to recite the
answers. The turn ends when the hula hoop falls to the ground
and stops or the hooper can't come up with any more products.
