MEMORY

• Teacher builds a simple model using four
bricks, changing orientation of bricks.
• Show it to the children.

Q: Can you select the bricks teacher has used?
Q: Can you copy this model and build it?
Q: Let's compare them - is yours exactly the
same as mine?
Q: If not, what is different? Can you fix it?

Repeat the exercise, but this time children try to
build the same model from memory.

PARTNER

PLAY

• Work with a partner and combine your bricks.
• Work with the same 3 bricks each.
• Child No. 1 connects the 3 bricks in a certain
sequence.
• Child No. 2 copies the sequence exactly -
matches it to Child No. 1 to be sure.
• Child No. 1 turns around and changes the
sequence, then shows it to Child No. 2
• Child No. 2 rearranges his sequence to match
again.
• Swop over.

Variations:
• Child No. 1 shows the change, then hides it.
• Child No. 2 tries to match the sequence from
memory.
• Increase the number of bricks.
• Change the orientation of bricks.
