Hoopla

Hoopla or Hooplah is a game we're sure you'll recognise from fair-grounds and school fetes. The object of the game is to throw a hoop over some kind of prize that's conveniently propped up on a small target pedestal or block. As it's mainly played for fun there are various ways you can approach the game. It's up to you how many throws or hoops you let each person have and how strict you are with what constitutes a scoring hoop, for example some people say that the hoop has to not only go over the prize but clear all the corners of the block or pedestal too. Usually, with children playing, you'd want them to win so you may decide to be a bit more forgiving. Three hoops per turn is a typical number but four or six will give them more chance - it's up to you.

We have made available a starter set of 12 hoops and 6 bases but individual hoops, blocks and posts are also available to supplement the basic set, if you wish.

The blocks and posts are sent unassembled and will need a quick tap with a hammer to slot them home.

Cuddly toys are not included.
