I recently walked into an after school program of five and 6-year-olds and saw a large group of kids sitting on the floor, huddled close in somewhat of a circle around a child that was moving cups quickly and stacking them on top of each other. She was forming the cups in a triangle or pyramid shape. Everyone in the room was having fun and they were all laughing and extremely engaged with the activity. Cup stacking has many benefits for cognitive development and targets specific areas of the body and the brain to increase intelligence, problem solving skills and critical thinking.
New learning follows established motor patterns first before it is stored in the cortex. Therefore, if we teach our students to move better, the better thinkers they will become…Information that is arranged in patterns is more easily processed, retained and retrieved. Cup stacking or speed stacking is surprisingly an individual sport where kids all over the world compete to beat their best time. Because the child is moving their hands so quickly, their eyes must also track the cups and the movement of their hands as they participate in the activity.
The eyes naturally cross the midline to accomplish this task. These skills are very important for reading and writing development. It allows the child to track words across the page and read from sentence to sentence, paragraph to paragraph. It also forces children to process information more quickly through their vision system, which allows them to process and retain information quicker in the classroom. The study found children that used cup stacking activities achieved higher scores in reading after the experiment was complete.
The results concluded that the brain-based activity of cup stacking may have contributed to the increase in the achievement of reading development. When students watch screens, their eyes lock in constant distant vision and the muscles that control eye movement atrophy…Tracking exercises, manipulatives, navigation activities and target games exercise the eye muscles, making the eyes fit to read. Cup stacking allows the child to use both hands in motion together bilateral coordination.
Increasing bilateral proficiency helps the brain develop on the right side as well as the left. In many cases, the right side of the brain loses out in day-to-day functions so this activity builds an increase of awareness, creativity and focus, which are all housed in the right hemisphere of the brain.
These skills are necessary for helping children take exams and tests. If you have any comments, questions, concerns, or others are there others even??? Your email address will not be published.
Cup Stacking Kids Typing Game Add game to your favorites This is a typing practice game where kids type the letters shown on the cups or cup placements. Type the letters on cup placements to build stacks of cups one row at a time starting with the bottom row.
Type the letters on cups to remove them one row at a time. How to Play Practice your typing skills building stacks of cups and then tearing them down by typing the correct letter for each cup.
Cup Stacking Kids Typing Game. Overall 3. Design 3. At "Go," teams race to flip cups over to their designated direction—up or down.
When you call "Stop," whichever team has the most cups pointing their way wins. Set a cup sideways on the floor and use a kids' golf club and ball to practice putting.
Use a cup and a balloon to create a launcher for pom-poms or mini marshmallows. Cut the bottom off a plastic cup so you have a tube. Replace the bottom with a balloon: Tie the balloon closed, then snip off about a half-inch from the end. Stretch the balloon over one open end of your cup add a rubber band for extra security. To launch, place your mini pom-pom inside the cup, in the center of the launching pad you created with the balloon.
Then pull back on the knot and pow! Release your pom-pom and see how far it flies. Use plastic cups as both throwers and catchers as you volley a ping pong ball or small pom-pom. What's great about this is it works for kids playing alone toss the ball up in the air, then catch with the same cup , in pairs, or in a small group.
