100 Cup Challenge – Fun Rainy Day Activity

This 100 Cup Challenge is perfect for someone looking for a fun rainy day game or indoor activity.

If you’re a teacher, this is an awesome activity for the 100th day of school or indoor recess!

If you’re a mom, don’t be surprised if this becomes the new favorite kids game!

True story…  On the same day my son received (as gifts) 2 LEGO sets, I purchased 100 red plastic cups.   The LEGOS cost $33 and the cups cost $6.  

Which set did they play with longer?

You guessed it… the cups!

More Fun With Stacking Cups

Nerf Gun Shooting Range

We always enjoy shooting plastic cups with Nerf guns.   Having 100 cups, makes the challenge even better!

This time different types of structures have been built and Hot Wheels tracks have been set up through them.  It almost reminds me of the bridge challenge too!

100 Cup Challenge with Nerf for a fun rainy day game

Of course, in our house, we can’t resist shooting them down with our Nerf guns!  One of our favorite Nerf guns is the small Jolt .

It’s amazing how a little set of cups can make kids SO happy!  Our last set of cups has lasted almost 2 years!

If your child is looking to take their cup stacking to the next level of cup racing, check these out.

    I agree – It’s always the unplanned toys {like red cups and cardboard boxes} that get the most play time. My boys will love this. Thank you!!
