Get set up
Gather the required materials: Coins. Set them out before explaining the first round. Choose an indoor area where the group can participate without blocking walkways.
LET’S PLAY
Here’s how it works.
- Give everyone an equal pile of coins.
- Start a 60-second timer.
- Stack coins one at a time into one vertical tower.
- If the tower falls, restart immediately.
- Measure the tallest stable tower when time ends.
A few ground rules
Keep the agreed turn order, boundaries and timing consistent for everyone. Players may pass or use an accessibility adaptation without penalty.
Mix it up
Use the non-dominant hand or require a target height.
Make it a great round
Coins are small objects; keep away from children likely to put them in their mouths.
Keep everyone comfortable
Use clean, stable, age-appropriate materials and remove anything sharp, breakable or unsuitable for the youngest player.
