You can choose any number of cups to do in a row to win. Each player must stand facing their table and flip an upside-down red solo cup towards the table. But this time, the players will use a red solo cup which is much more difficult. Don’t drop your cups or you automatically lose the round! FLIP THE CUPĪ simple but exciting cup game, that closely resembles the flip the bottle game. You can add more than 12 cups to increase game length. Players will race by putting the top cup to the bottom and repeating this step until the other colored/marked cup is on the top again. Each player will have to hold this stack, upside down. If you only have red solo cups, you can use a sharpie to clearly mark the bottom cup for this game. Prepare this fun game by stacking 12 red solo cups together and placing one blue or any other colored cup on the bottom. The first team to finish the pyramid shape wins! RACE TO THE TOP This is a very challenging game and may be hard to start with, but once each team develops their technique by using the rubber band to grab the cup, it will get easier and is definitely fun to play.

Repeat the process until they make a pyramid out of the stack of cups. They will have to work as a team to lift one cup at a time and place it on an open space of the table. To play, each player will hold a string to pull the rubber band apart and hover it over the end of the top solo cup. Set this cup game up by putting the 10 cups in one stack and placing it on a small square table like this one upside down, now tie 4 strings onto the rubber band. To prepare, you will need a stack of 10 red solo cups, a rubber band for each group, strings for each member of the group. You will need at least two groups of four members each. Grab a small ball and let the kids roll the ball to knock all the cups down. Now, gather the red solo cups and place them like bowling pins. The game follows the same house rules of traditional bowling. The last pair remaining wins the game! SOLO CUPS BOWLING The pair who fails to catch the ball will be eliminated. To start the game, the one who’s holding the ball will have to throw it to his/her partner and he/she should catch the ball in their plastic solo cup.Īs the game continues, each pair will have to take one step backward to create a wider space between their partners. Have the kids pair up and give them one red solo cup each and one ping pong ball per pair. This game can easily turn a boring day into a fun and unforgettable one without exerting much effort at all! It is perfect for good hand/eye coordination skill building as well. This a slightly challenging yet fun red solo cup game for kids especially with the trouble of making the pyramid of solo cups stand sturdy for five seconds. Then quickly put it back in one stack in under a minute. To work like a scientist, be sure to test one variable at a time, use a timer to collect data, and collect evidence about what helps or hurts your time.Kids will have to stack 21 red solo cups into a tower formation and maintain the stack of cups for five seconds. This is the same approach that scientists and engineers use to do their work. Observing a process, analyzing what's happening, and making improvements is a scientific approach to problem solving. Invite your friends or family to a cup stacking challenge! Who can get the fastest time? Does anyone have a new idea for improving the process?.

It's up to you to creatively figure out new ways to get better at the game, using critical-thinking skills. Pick something else to improve, try it a few times and time yourself to see if you got any faster.Time yourself a few more times to see if your modifications make you go any faster.If the cups are sticking to each other, does adding baby powder reduce friction? What else could you do to reduce friction? What parts of the process are slow? Do the cups stick to each other? Is there suction when the cups separate? Do your hands bump into each other and knock the cups over? Observe as you stack the cups, looking for things that slow you down or are tricky.Practice a few times to get the hang of it. Use a stopwatch or timer to see how long it takes you to make the pyramid the first time.The goal of the game is to take 10 cups and make them stack into a pyramid shape with four levels (four cups on the bottom, then three cups, then two cups, and one cup on top) as fast as you can.Take our cup stacking challenge to learn how taking a scientific approach can help you get better at games. Ever try to get really, really fast at a game? Chances are the first time you tried a new thing, it wasn't perfect.
