BRAIN BREAK

• Teacher builds any model with the six bricks.
• Teacher places model on the table, visible to all
children.

Q: Can you copy this model?
Q: Let’s compare them. Is yours exactly the same as
mine?
Q: If not, what is different? Can you fix it?

TRAIN YOUR

BRAIN

• The teacher can begin with 3 bricks.
• Don’t allow the children to see the bricks (hide
them behind a box or book). Explain to the
children that the teacher is going to hold up 3
different coloured bricks, one at a time. Then
the teacher is going to hold up one brick. The
children must then decide if the brick was in the
set of bricks shown by the teacher.

Hold up the 3 bricks one at a time. Hold up a blue
brick then hide it. Hold up a yellow brick then hide
it. Hold up a green brick then hide it. Now hold up,
for example, an orange brick and ask the children
if this coloured brick was in the sequence of bricks
initially shown.

• Vary the colours.
• Add an additional brick to the sequence as the
children’s memory improves.
