3-6-3 Competition Stack

   Scooter Relay: Teams line up "Relay Style"

• Two sets of three cups are on the middle gym line
• One set of 6 cups is at the opposite end of the gym
• Students run to the center stack and upstack
• Then, upstack the 6 cup stack
• Touch the wall, then downstack the stacks on the way back to their line
• Give a "high five" to the next person in line and go to the end
• You can have everyone do two turns, or have them see how many turns they can do as a team in five minutes.
• You can also make this a partner/scooter activity by having one students do the stacking while being pushed by their partner. When they get to the wall after upstacking, the partners switch places for the return trip.
