Ten paper cups, string, scissors, rubber band.
To set up, place ten paper cups face down on a table or the floor. Test your rubber band to make sure it can fit around the paper cups. Then cut a 3-foot long piece of string for each participant. Tie one end of each piece of string to the rubber band spacing each knot apart evenly. Give the other end of the string to each participant. When participants pull on their string, the rubber band will expand. When the rubber band contracts over a cup, the group will be able to pick up and move a cup. Your goal is to build a pyramid out of the paper cups - four on the bottom row, three on the next, then two, and one on the top. Participants may only touch or hold onto the end of the string they have been given. No one may touch the cups with their hands or other parts of their bodies, even if a cup falls or tips over. Happy stacking!
