REVERSE ORDER

• Children place their 6 bricks randomly on their desk.
• The teacher takes each brick one by one and places
them in a sequence.
• Begin with 3 bricks then work up to 6 bricks.
• The children are then asked to look at the sequence
of bricks briefly.
• Teacher then hides the sequence.
• Children must build the sequence in reverse order.

SNATCH AND

GRAB

• Children work in groups of 4 - 6.
• Pile all the bricks together.
• Teacher calls out one colour. When the teacher
says “Go!”, every second child in the group
snatches that colour as quickly as they can.

Q: How many bricks of that colour did you
collect?

• Stack your colour bricks into a tower; compare
towers.

Q: Who has the tallest / shortest / same
size?
Q: Who has the most / least / same
number?
Q: How many more / less bricks do you
have?

• Try out some of your own ideas to vary this
activity.
