Speed Stacking!!

 We have been working on Sport Stacking in PE in all grade levels: Kindergarten-6th grade.  

This is a personal favorite unit of mine to teach each year!  This is an activity that many students are unfamiliar with and it quickly grows into a favorite for them as well.

Sport Stacking benefits the students in many ways, here are just a few of my favorite reasons to do this unit:

• Improves Hand-Eye Coordination
• Right and Left Brain Activation
• Improves Bilateral Coordination
• Fine Motor Skill Improvement
• Plus - we get PLENTY of exercise with the variety of games we play!

When many people hear "Cup Stacking" - which by the way is NOT the name the pros use! (It is like when people call P.E. "Gym Class"... hurts my soul a little bit...) 

Anyway... Stacking often gets a bad rap because people just assume we are sitting in one place practicing our stacking sequences.  I am here to tell you different!  Sure we practices our different stacking sequences, but then we play so many different games that require the students to be on the go, getting our heart rates up!
