What you need: For each team, you need eight to 10 plastic cups and paper plates and a ball (a standard kick ball, soccer ball or volleyball).
How to play: Divide the players into teams of eight to 10 players. Line them up facing away from the middle of a circle. Inside the circle will be each team's pile of cups and plates to stack. Each team is given one ball.
The rules: At the starting signal, the first player on each team will run to his pile of cups and plates and begin to stack them, alternating them with the cups face down. He will then run back to his team and tag the next player who will unstack the cups and plates and restack them. Each team has the option of using its ball to knock down another team's stack of cups and plates. If a team's cups and plates get knocked down, the player who stacked them must go back into the circle and redo them.
How to win: The first team to have all of its players stack the cups and plates is the winning team.
What else you need to know: The strategy in this game becomes, do you knock down someone else's cups and plates or do you focus on your team's progress and play it safe.
