First time I saw it, thought it is camera fast forward!

 

My daughter is learning to play the piano but when she gets bored with practise, she plays with stacking cups.

 

You cannot find Speed Stacks in SG. Can only buy online. Best alternative I found is Crazy Cups.

Give her a break. Like any 11yo. Caught in-between the ages and takes delight in her achievements. It's like seeing your own kid react when they finally ride the bicycle the first time. The first time I saw my girl play just a short musical piece w/o referring to the notes had her running around like a headless chicken telling everyone.

i dont understand how stacking cups can be a achievement ?

[Genie47]

You try to do it fast. Then you see how it is.

 

There are rules. 3, 3, 3 stacks are the simplest. Then the cycle stack is the hardest. There is a procedure to it as well as technique.

 

Tried to do it with my supposedly superior adult mind and hands found me fumbling.

 

Like piano, you practice. Kids don't like piano practice. You want to keep their minds comfortable with using both hands so, you give them something fun to do and achieve.

 

You want to give them something easy to do but hard to achieve faster times. Keeps them occupied with some objective.

Speed stacking beats Glue Sniffing anytime

[Sleepyman]

Its just like a hobby imho...

 

its like challenging urself in doing something....

 

when i was young my mum and sis thought spider catching and playing marbles were dumb too...

i rem saw the cups for sale in sg...

 

achorpoint basement 1 there is a shop selling... alot of signs and gifts... have it

[Circuit]

the cup base got holes , so it is faster to stack and no air pressure to stack up , so cups dun stuck together

Games like these I do not see the benefit but instead plenty of downside.

 

Let me try to list the positives:

 

Allows children interaction, team work, motor skills, something to be proud of, the mental challenge.

 

The downsides:

 

Teaches kids faster better cheaper is good.

 

Now do you understand?

 

[Genie47]

Don't see the connection why this tiny little game gives them the idea of faster, cheaper, better.
