Did you know that there is a World Sport Stacking Association (WSSA)? Who knew this was such a big thing?! Last year, on November 19, 2019, the Guinness Book of World Records set a new World Record Mark for the \u201cMost People Sport Stacking at Multiple Locations in One Day&#8221;. There were 638,503 stackers, 2,739 schools and organizations from 26 Locations\/Regions. Canada had 30 683 \u201cstackers\u201d participate!

Any type of plastic cup works, as long as they are all the same shape and size. Some people have even used plastic sand pails, or soccer markers\/discs to stack. This challenge is very versatile and can be adapted for various learning needs and abilities.<\/p>\n<h3>Stacking Challenges:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Try to make the tallest cup stack\/tower by placing a piece of paper between each cup, or alternating them upside down on top of a cup that is right side up.<\/li>\n<li>Use fewer cups to stack (e.g. three), or a lot of cups (e.g. 100).<\/li>\n<li>Use a timer, then make a stack of 3 or 6 cups and then \u201cnest them\u201d back one inside the other and do this as many times as you can in one minute.<\/li>\n<li>Use a timer to see how long it takes you to make 3 stacks of 3 cups and then \u201cnest them\u201d back again (one inside the other).<\/li>\n<li>Stack the cups while doing the plank exercise. You may need to change hands if one arm gets tired. Think it isn\u2019t possible?<\/li>\n<li>Need more ideas? <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RHEPE1\/status\/1252919626712911872?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch Round Hill PE with Mr. T and Mr. Lose<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Friday Fun Challenge is a Cup Stacking Challenge!
