Teamwork and communication are keys to success at the PB Spirit Solo Cup Challenge

Teamwork makes the dream work!

Fourth-graders at Circleville Elementary School worked with school counselor Deana Lenz to do the Pine Bush Spirit Solo Cup Challenge!

 

A classroom of fourth-grade students, some with hands up, as a woman speaks to them.

 

Here was the deal – the class was broken into teams of four and five students. They received six cups and one grappler. The cups could only be touched or moved with the grappler – no hands, arms or any other body part could be used. The students had to work as a team to build a pyramid using the six cups. All team members had to play a role in the project.

Four fourth-grade students uses an elastic with handles to stack blue ad yellow cups in a pyramid.

 

The students discussed their strategies and came up with their plans. It was definitely more difficult than it looked at first glance. They talked and re-thought their plans. Then, even more cups were added!

 

Happy fourth-graders throw up their arms and smile after finishing the pyramid of cups.

 

They discussed with Ms. Lenz their challenges and successes during the activity. Working as a team on this was beneficial for sure! Having cooperation between teammates was a big  plus.

Teamwork and good communication got the task done. Great job!
