Bunco Stacking

Equipment:
Each stacker will need a set of cups. Tables with four Stack Mats each. Stack Mats are optional.

Set-up:
Prepare round tables with four stack mats (optional) each around the room.

Procedure:
Randomly assign a stacker to each table. If you do not have enough stackers to fill in each table, you can reduce the number of stackers per table. Assign a number rank (Table 1, 2, 3, and so on.) Each stacker will race against the stackers at their table. The teacher announces the pattern to be stacked and gives the "Go" signal. After every round, fastest stacker at each table (except for #1) will move up and trade with the slowest stacker from the next table. (For example, fastest stacker at Table #2 will trade places with slowest stacker from Table #1.

VARIATIONS:
After a while, most stackers will be stacking against kids of the same ability. Then you want to change things up a bit by reversing the ranking of the tables, so that the faster stackers will have to work to move up again.
