- Back to the beginning and downstack a 3-6-3. Stop.
- Using one hand, downstack this last three and bring it over to the first 3-Stack.
- Using the 3-2-1 method, upstack the first 6-Stack, then the second 6-Stack.
- Repeat several times. Call out cues and keep everyone together.
6-6 to 12 cup column:
- Downstack the first 6-Stack keeping three cups in each hand.
- Use the cups in your hands to downstack the second 6-Stack.
- Two moves - slide out and pop on center, ending in one column of 12 cups.
