Speed Stacking for Homeschoolers

Speed stacking is great for coordination and improving strength and agility in both hands for kids of all ages. A child does not have to be athletic to participate and yet it is also mentally and at times, physically challenging. This is a great activity and has really become popular around the country.
You don't have to commit to every meeting but meeting twice a month will allow us to stack with each other. If you haven't stacked before, that's OK, come on over.

WHEN:   1st and 3rd Thursdays of each month, 12:00-1:30 PM

WHERE:   Our home in Scottsdale, near the 101 and Indian School. Contact Jocelyn for address and directions.

COST:   No cost to participate but each child should have their own set of stacking cups. The cups, a stacking mat, timer, and instructional DVD may be purchased for about $30 at Walmart, Target and Toys R Us.

WHAT TO BRING:

• Your stacking cups
• A mat and timer are good to have too.

SPEED STACKING CUPS: Please bring your own set of cups so everyone can be stacking at the same time. They may be purchased at http://www.speedstacks.com, Target, Wal-Mart, and Toys R' Us on-line and you can also check those stores to see if they have them in stock. They will be located by the board games. The price is around $30 which includes the 12 cups, mat and timer, and instructional DVD. The DVD offers great instruction on stacking. There's also a cheaper version that provides the cups and a mini-timer and no mat. However, if possible, it is really better to have the mat and the timer that hooks into the mat.

RSVP: Jocelyn Horton, jocelyn.horton@cox.net or 480-990-9270. Please RSVP to let me know you're coming.
