Cup Stacking Overtakes our Home



It's new, it's exciting, it's engaging, and it's FUN!! If you haven't heard of or seen Speed Stacking or Cup Stacking, I encourage you to seek out information or demonstations of it.

Some time ago, I was saw a short spot on the PBS about speed stacking. Neat, I thought! I didn't understand the rage it has become! Neighbors are doing it, schools are having tournaments, National Circuits exist etc, etc. Now, our homeschooling co-op will be offering a class to introduce the "sport" and teach biblical concepts that relate (ie.firm foundation). We will incorporate relays and time trials and hope that as the 6 class periods progress, our students will improve upon their scores and increase their confidence to complete the cycle without fumbles.

We have had the opportunity to teach a few other families in the meantime, and they too see the value/challenge of this engaging activity. Even our 2 year old Irene has taken to the upstacking in particular. Give it a try. You might surprise yourself!!
