Cup Stack Code | STEM Sequencing & Coding Game for Grades 1–3

Looking for a fun, hands-on way to teach young learners the basics of coding without screens? Cup Stack Code is the perfect low-prep activity that sneaks in sequencing, problem-solving, and teamwork while your students laugh, think, and collaborate!

What’s the Challenge?

One student builds a secret cup tower. Their partner writes a “code” — step-by-step directions — to help someone else rebuild it blindfolded (or just behind a divider). If it’s wrong? Debug and try again!

It’s intro-to-coding meets team-building, and it’s wildly engaging from the first round.

Why Teachers Love It:

✅ No screens required — just cups and creativity!
✅ Hits coding and communication standards
✅ Encourages precision, teamwork, and critical thinking
✅ Perfect for centers, fast finishers, STEM stations, or sub days
✅ Designed with Grades 1–3 in mind (yes, they can do this!)

What’s Included:

Easy-to-Follow Teacher Instructions
Student-Friendly Instruction Sheet
Printable Coding Template
Debugging Reflection Worksheet
Bright and Bold STEM Concepts Poster
Fun Certificate of Completion

BONUS: This game is so easy to set up that your students can run it themselves by Round 2!

If you’re looking for a STEM activity that delivers real learning in a format your students will beg to play again, Cup Stack Code needs to be in your cart.

Add it now and level up your STEM game!
