Hoola hoops/personal space=fantastic!!!

my only concern would be that some kids then wouldn't want to play with any of the kids anymore. I know they use hula hoops for special need kids so they understand personal space.

I have visited several Montessori schools recently and they use the same concept, but is amat instead of hula hops. Some kids work by themselves, but others choose to do the activities as a team. Some times they move from working individually to work with a team or vice versa.... It helps them to learn to focus and concentrate in activity, something that is difficult when someone else is stealing materials or toys from them.
