Micro-Hoops
Pitch
Based on the very basic game of trying to throw a hoop around a target , Micro-hoops puts an educational twist on a classic game. Not only will children have fun, but they will also be developing their hand eye coordination along with learning fun facts about all different fields of science. In an age where video games have such a stranglehold on the younger generation, it is imperative that we begin to put further research into games which aide in the development of children's brains instead of creating a population of kids with short attention spans. Micro-hoops marks the beginning of a pivotal movement in the entertainment industry, one leading to a brighter and more focused society.
Items:
1 Hoop
1 Micro-hoops microscope
50 Info cards
How to Play
With a friend or multiple friends grab your hoop and Micro-hoops microscope as well as the information cards and stand roughly 5 feet back of the microscope. Each red marked area on the microscope is worth a different amount of points and leads to a question of tougher difficulty. Remember: you can only get your points if you answer the question correctly. Each player has 3 tries to get the hoop around the microscope but only one attempt at a correct answer to the question.
Improvements
After discussing the game with friends we came to a couple conclusions for potential improvements in the game. First of all, the hoop that came with the game needed to be a bit heavier. This is because on many occasions the hoop would go around on of the marked areas but bounce off. Second, the microscope itself could be substantially larger in order to have a greater attraction to younger children, as well as making it easier to get the hoop around the larger target. Finally, we concluded that the microscope could be inflated so that even if the kids lose interest in the learning aspect of the game they could kick it around and play on it.
