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.
RIDDLE-ME-ROO
• 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.
Example:
It is small
It has a curly tail …
It likes to eat veges …
It rhymes with fig …
What is it? A pig!
• Whoever guesses the right answer, gets to go
next.
