Cup stacking has many benefits for cognitive development and targets specific areas of the body and the brain to increase intelligence, problem solving skills and critical thinking. This type of activity involves everyone and it enhances each child’s attention and focus. Because the child has to concentrate so much on stacking the cups, it trains the brain and the body to stay focused for longer periods of time in their desk and while they listen to the teacher. Studies have also shown that activities that use both right and left sides of the brain can improve concentration and problem solving skills. These activities actually increase blood flow to all parts of the brain, which increase energy, thereby making the student more alert.
