  Speed Stacks Activity Guide
  Before-After School Program
  Variations - fun stacking ideas from you.
    Leader of the Stack
Equipment:   A set of Speed Stacks for every stacker.
     
Set-up:   Have stackers sit in squad formation, 4-5 students in each squad, each with a set of Speed Stacks in front of them. Have the leaders of each squad use the same colored sets, if possible.
     
Procedure:   The first person in each squad is designated as the "leader" and faces the rest of the squad. Instructor calls out a pattern to be stacked, and the stackers set up their cups accordingly. On the "Go" signal, all stackers up stack and down stack the pattern and stand up when they are finished. The fastest stacker in the squad gets to move to the "leader" position and remain there until someone else has a faster stack.
     
VARIATIONS:  

If a "leader" wins three times in a row, they move to the Winner's Circle, which is another squad comprised of other three-time winners...

If you have enough Stack Mats, allow the leaders to stack on them...

Decorate a bulletin board with a number of cut-out golden cups displayed. Hall all the students who have achieved the position of "Leader of the Stack' write their names on the golden cup, which is displayed on a bulletin board. Every time they are a leader after that, they can add a gold sticker to their cup.
