Cup Rubik’s Cube

From @thePEShed: PE Home Learning Video 10: Rubik’s Cube / Colour Matching | Focus: Coordination & Thinking Skills | How: Move coloured cups so there is 3 of each colour in a row.

Setup and Game Play: This activity is great for hand-eye coordination as well as developing logic and strategy skills. To set up the activity, create two 3×3 grids on the floor or table using painter’s tape. Gather 16 cups and color the bottoms (4 red, 6 green, and 6 blue). Place 2 red, 3 blue, and 3 green in each of the 3×3 grids and challenge students to move the cups to get rows of all the same colors. Students can only move one cup at a time and into an adjacent space (no diagonal movement!). Whoever completes their grid correctly first wins!

Try these kinesthetic activity extensions:
– Use least dominant hand
