Get ready

  1. Set a stack of cups on the table for each player.
  2. Decide on pyramid size: 6 cups (3-2-1) for little ones, 10 cups (4-3-2-1) for most kids, 21 or more for pros.

How to play

  1. Players stand at the table with their cups in one stack.
  2. Start the 60-second timer.
  3. Players build a pyramid using all their cups.
  4. Once it's built, they take it down and put the cups back into one stack.
  5. If the pyramid falls, they keep going and rebuild.
  6. Anyone who finishes before the timer runs out wins.

Tips & variations

  • Play head-to-head with two or three players racing side by side.
  • Make it a team relay: each player adds one row, then tags the next teammate.

📖 Bible connection

Jesus told a story about a wise man who built on solid rock (Matthew 7:24-27). Talk about how a strong foundation keeps things from falling, and how Jesus is the foundation for our lives.
