At our table, we offered fellow students the chance to play the LSI Flip Cup game. Suggested by one of our students, it involved flipping plastic cups. Many LSI\u00a0volunteers\u00a0were on hand to explain the rules and to supply the cups. Lucky contestants who managed to flip the cup\u00a0successfully\u00a0received a small chewy reward.\u00a0Despite the simplicity of the game, this fun,\u00a0high paced game proved\u00a0highly popular!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2368 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.lsi.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Red-cup-game.jpg\" alt=\"World Student Day in Canada , LSI Flip Cup Game\" width=\"450\" height=\"253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lsi.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Red-cup-game.jpg 450w, https:\/\/blog.lsi.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Red-cup-game-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Over for this year, our thoughts turn to next year.
