Two teams, two identical piles of cups and boxes, three minutes on the timer. The tower that stands the tallest when the timer goes off wins.

How to play

  1. Gather everything in the kitchen that stacks — plastic cups, yogurt pots, small boxes, books.
  2. Split the pile into two equal halves and give one to each team.
  3. Set the timer for three minutes and build the tallest tower you can.
  4. Hold both towers up against a chair leg and decide which one is taller.
  5. Knock them down on purpose, swap the piles and build again.
