LISTEN, WATCH

AND DO

• Children have their 6 bricks randomly placed
on their desks in front of them.
• Teacher performs a sound action with 3 of her
6 bricks. E.g. She claps green and red bricks
together, then places them on the desk, then taps
the orange brick twice on the desk before placing
it next to the green and red brick.
• Children repeat the action, remembering
which bricks, sounds and actions the teacher
performed.

Variations:
• Increase the number of bricks, sounds
and actions.

FINGER FUN

• Children work individually with their 6
bricks.
• Children build a cross using any two bricks.

Q: Can you rotate it backwards?
Q: Using both hands, can you rotate the
bricks behind your back?
Q: Using both hands, can you rotate the
bricks next to your L and R hip?
