"Hi, my name is Miss Nancy, and I'm an elementary school teacher here in Tampa, Florida. And today, we're going to learn about the cup stacking game. And for that, we have Cindy, who's our cup-stacking expert, and she's going to show us how it's done. Cindy? Now, the goal of the game is to see how fast you can get it done. But notice how closely she's putting the cups together at the bottom. It's going to make it a little bit easier for her later. Now, it looks pretty easy, but the higher you go, the harder it gets. And remember, you're trying to do it as fast as you can. See if you can do it faster than your friends or even faster than a stopwatch. You got two in...you got two there. She's got two there. She's got two there. Here you go, honey. And she's just making them into a cup pyramid. Excellent job. The most fun part, though, is knocking i down. Ready, girls? Knock it down. And that's the cup stacking game."
