HANGMAN


                •   Work in pairs or in a group of 3 - 4.
                •   Place all the bricks together in a pile.
                •   Each child takes a turn to build a word using the
                    bricks. The rest of the group must decide on which
                    letters to call out to build the word.
                •   Each coloured brick represents a letter in a word.
                •   Have a piece of paper and a pencil ready to draw
                    hangman as the partner or group guess letters to
                    make the word.
                Example:
                Green represents the letter L.  Blue represents the
                letter E.  Red is T. Orange is R.


                •   The children in the group guess which letters could
                    make up the word.  If they guess correctly then
                    those bricks are turned over.
                •   The children in the group continue to guess letters
                    until they have the word or until ‘Hangman’ has
                    been drawn.

                                                            •   Children work with a partner to build any model
                                                                they decide on.
                                                            •   They must work together to think of a short riddle
                                                                to tell the class, which will give them a clue as to
                                                                what the model represents.

                                                                    It is small
                                                                    It has a curly tail …

                                                                    It rhymes with fig …

                                                            •   Whoever guesses the right answer, gets to go
                                                                next.
