Hoop Rolling, often called hoop and stick, is a child's game in which a large hoop, made of wood, metal or plastic, is propelled by means of a rolling stick. Skilled players can keep the hoop upright for lengthy periods of time and can do various tricks. Able hoop rollers have created circus acts around their skill.
It is known to have been played in early antiquity, as seen on Greek vase paintings from ca. 500 BCE. It is still found - albeit rarely - as a feature of children's street culture all over the world.

My Scottish wife always referred to it as a PIRIE and the stick, which was always hooked at one end, was called a CLEAT this must be an old lowland Scottish name as I had never heard it called that
