GRID REFERENCING

• Working individually the children use a grid
template and their 6 bricks.
• The teacher can place coloured bricks onto
various grid positions.
• The children will have to give the grid reference
of these bricks. E.g. The blue brick is at A1.

Variations:
• The children start with an empty grid.
• The teacher calls out a colour and a grid
reference. E.g. Red D5
• The children must then place the correct
coloured brick in the correct grid block.

SKIP COUNT

• Work in a group of 4 - 6.
• Place your bricks out, in any order, one next
to the other; make sure they can be seen by
the whole group.
• One child begins counting the bricks out
aloud; every time you get to any blue brick,
skip that number (do not count it out aloud)
and carry on counting from the next brick.

Q: Can you stay on track with the counting?

• Think of other rules to play this game - you
could try counting in twos / threes / odds /
evens, etc.
