Cup games

Cup and paper roll relay

Teams drag a cup across the floor with a strip of paper towel, without touching the cup. Fragile, fast and very funny to watch.

Players
4–16, in teams
Time
10–15 min

What you need

  • A roll of paper towel or tissue per team
  • A paper cup per team
  • Tape for start and finish lines

How to play

  1. Tape a start and finish line a few metres apart.
  2. Each runner tears off a strip, sets a cup on one end and pulls it gently to the finish.
  3. If the paper tears or the cup tips, go back to the start.
  4. Hand over at the line; the first team to get every runner through wins.

Office tip: Smooth floors only. Carpet eats the paper.
