Get set up
Gather the required materials: White plastic cups or other lightweight white stackable objects. 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 players equal white cups.
- Start the timer.
- Build a stable multi-level stack.
- Hold the finished stack for three seconds.
- Score by height or successful completion.
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
Add paper eyes after stacking or use a three-cup speed version.
Make it a great round
Demonstrate one legal attempt before starting the timer and keep identical materials for each player.
Keep everyone comfortable
Use clean, stable, age-appropriate materials and remove anything sharp, breakable or unsuitable for the youngest player.
