Activity: Pick a number card from 1-20. Build the tallest tower you can with that number of cups. The tower must stand for 5 minutes.
Materials:
- Set of number cards 1-20
- 20 plastic cups
- Timer
Let’s think about it:
- Is it easier to build with more or less cups?
- How many cups did you use to make the tallest tower?
- Can you blow down your towers like the big bad wolf, or are they too strong?!
