Game Description:
Race your way to victory by stacking cups!
Objective:
Be the first team to stack all the speed stacks.
Game Rules:
Divide children into teams of 4. Set them up for a relay race using a cone or poly dot as a marker. Directly across from them at the other side of the playing area place 6, 10, or 16 cups. One at a time, children race to the other side to begin the stacking. They can only move one cup than must race back to the beginning. The objective is to be the first team to stack all the speed stacks in a tower.
Saftey Considerations:
Keep distances between the teams.
Adaptations (optional):
If you have a child in a wheel chair, use poly dots as the marker and have the speed stacks on a table.
Progression (optional):
Add variations of towers to keep the children engaged!
