PATTERNED

PATHWAY

• Children work in groups of 6 - 8, all bring
their 6 bricks to the play area.
• Children will have to build a patterned
pathway from one point to another.
• Work L to R to practise eye movement.
• One child in the group starts by placing a
brick down - the next child adds a brick to
the path, etc. bearing in mind that a pattern
should emerge.
• Add sound / movement to your pathway.

ANIMAL ANTICS

• Children work in pairs.
• Build any animal using your 6 bricks.
• Child No. 1 tells Child No. 2 a short story as
he moves his animal from L to R - Child No.
1 follows the movement with his eyes only or
listens to the story.
• E.g. Mother Cat is looking for her milk. Watch
her as she moves from the kitchen table to the
back door and quickly back to under the table.
Then slowly look under the chair … etc.
