Six Bricks is a concept that was developed in South Africa, primarily as a
tool to promote the use of concrete manipulatives in early learning. Today,
Six Bricks have spread far and wide and are being used in schools across
the world to build perceptual skills, literacy skills, numeracy skills, physical
skills and social-emotional skills. There are also countless group games and
activities that incorporate Six Bricks.

The basic set of Six Bricks consist of six different colours of DUPLO 2X4-stud
bricks, namely a green, a red, an orange, a light blue, a dark blue and a yellow
brick.

When the 6 Bricks are formed into a stack in the following colour arrangement,
the stack is referred to as a GROBBY, each letter of the word representing a
colour and in that specific sequence.

There is a growing range of support materials available for Six Bricks that
include software, manuals, educational activity mats, game boards, answer
coding mats, a Grobby Six Bricks storybook and more.
