TIPSY TOWER GAME

                FOR 2





                •  Work with a partner - each child goes to the
                   mat / carpeted area with their 6 bricks.
                •  Both build a Tipsy Tower short end to short
                   end.
                •  Take turns to flick the bricks off the tower -
                   only one brick must fall off at a time - until all
                   bricks are down.
                •  Try flicking them into a container.

                                                                                                  RACK





                                                         •   Children work in pairs.
                                                         •   The teacher builds a stack (tower) by placing each
                                                             brick on the small side one on top of each other.
                                                         •   Children must take note of Teacher’s colour
                                                             sequence.
                                                         •   Children must work with their partner and each child
                                                             may only use one hand - their outside hand to build.
                                                             They also may only touch and move a brick when
                                                             both of them have a hand on the brick.
                                                         •   The pair must work in unison to balance their stack in
                                                             the correct colour sequence.
                                                         •   The first pair to complete the stack is the winner.
                                                         •   Teacher can build various different stacks for the
                                                             partners to copy.
                                                         •   Each partner can take turns to build a stack for the
                                                             other one to copy.


                                                         Q:      Can you copy the colour sequence and the
                                                                 positioning of the bricks as you balance the
                                                                 stacks?
