You need
- plastic cups (8 or more)
Steps
- 1. Share the cups out: some for you, some for me.
- 2. Take turns adding a cup to one tower. Say “your turn”.
- 3. How tall can you go together?
- 4. When it falls, laugh and build again!
⚠ Safety · Stay nearby
Plastic cups only, not glass.
Stop if:
- A fall is upsetting — make it the plan: build it, then knock it down together
Easier
Build two towers side by side, then swap.
Harder
Build a pyramid: three on the bottom, two, then one.
Only 5 minutes?
One tower.
Why it matters: Taking turns with a shared goal builds patience and teamwork.
Clean-up: Stack the cups and put them away.
