No K-Cups? Use a small Dixie cup, bathroom cups, or disposable shot glasses for the following challenge ideas.
Here are your challenge areas, choose as many as you want…try them all if you can…
Make A Game – Think about how one cup or a few cups can be used to make a carnival type game or a guessing game. We made a stacking cup game with ours. Try to create an opportunity to collect points or use a scoring element. Don’t forget to write down or draw instructions if you need to.
An Organizer – Can you think of a way they can be put together to help organize something small? How can they be used for something larger?

Something of Your Own Choosing – Take a minute or two to look at a small cup and allow your imagination to go wild. There are a great many things these little cups can be used for.
