How to play this cup set
Players flip a card and race to stack the cups in the matching sequence, then ring the bell when done. For a gentler version, remove the bell and timer, use fewer cups, and guide players to match by colour or position without competition.
- Individual simplified play: Remove the bell and timer. Ask the player to sort cups by colour or size, then match them to a card at their own pace.
- Timed group rounds: Take turns stacking to the card pattern and ringing the bell. Record times for a friendly competitive element.
- Team relay: Split into small teams and pass the stacking task between members, with each person adding one cup per turn.
- Memory flip game: Place cards face-down, flip one at a time, and challenge players to recall which card matches the cup arrangement already on the table.
- Dementia-adapted play: Use a reduced number of cups and ask participants to aim for a top, middle, or bottom position only, removing scoring entirely.
- Cups: 12 stacking cups, 5.5 cm high
- Cards: 1 pack of laminated matching cards, 8.5 cm
- Bell: 1 bell included
- Care: Wipe clean with a damp cloth
