Cups of SPEED!

Dec 11, 2008 17:23

So, at the Teen Interest Group meeting I attended today, there was a big discussion about Sport Stacking. Have you all heard of this? It's stacking cups really really fast in a certain order. Apparently, it's considered a "sport" (they actually have kids do it in P.E. class). Well, I'm Googling around now, trying to figure it out and this seems ( Read more... )

Yeah, though - big with grades 3-6. DOnt know about middle school.

I talked with Dee the Cup Pusher (and I mean that in an admiring fashion, the same way I refer to Pokemon as the "gateway drug" to manga/anime fandom) before the Teen Interest Group meeting.

I also like Dee's idea about it as an intergenerational event: get the parents/grandparents in to play with the kids. Get the kids in first, they'd probably love training their parents and giving them pointers!
