Cup games

Water cup relay

Pass water from cup to cup down a line of people, then measure what is left. Best outside on a warm day.

Players
6–20, in teams
Time
10–15 min

What you need

  • A paper cup per player
  • A jug of water
  • A clear glass per team to fill

How to play

  1. Teams stand in a line, each player holding a cup.
  2. The first player fills their cup and pours it into the next player’s cup, and so on down the line.
  3. The last player pours into the team’s glass, then runs to the front to start again.
  4. After three minutes, the team with the fullest glass wins.

Office tip: For a harder round, hold the cups in your teeth. Bring towels.
