SUPER STORIES

• Teacher reads / tells children a story, e.g: The
Three Billy Goats Gruff.
• Children work in groups of 6, with their combined
bricks.
• Build the story so as to help you retell it to the
class.
• Build the bridge / the goats / the troll etc. Consider
the following questions while building:

Q: Is the bridge strong enough to support the Billy
Goats?
Q: Is there enough room under the bridge for the
Troll? Etc.

• The children retell the story, using their build as a
prop.
• This same activity can be done with any stories the
children have learnt.

PLACE THAT

BRICK

• Teacher calls out instructions for the
children to arrange their bricks in
certain ways, in order to reinforce colour
recognition and to understand prepositions.

brick.
- Put the light blue brick next to the red
and yellow brick.
- Put the green brick behind the light blue
brick.
- Put the orange brick in front of the light
blue brick.
