Rules

  • If a stacker knocks over a cup while they’re inside the activity area they must fix that cup by placing it upright.
  • If a stacker has retrieved a cup and then knocks over another cup inside the activity area, they must set their retrieved cup on the floor, fix the knocked over cup, then run back and touch their home base, before they can resume play.

Variations

  • Choose an alternative locomotor skill for retrieving the cup like skipping or hopping.
  • Choose a variety of stacking patterns or number of repetitions (3-3-3, 3-6-3, Cycle).
  • Have stackers work in pairs stacking Doubles (Doubles stacking is when two stackers stack together. The stacker on the right is the right hand, and the stacker on the left is the left hand).
