BUILD THE SOUND

PATTERN

• The children work with a partner, each has
their 6 bricks ready.
• Teacher plays a sound pattern, e.g. clap,
clap, click.
• The partners agree on a way to illustrate that
sound pattern with the bricks.
• The partners take turns to sound a pattern for
each other to build with the bricks.
• Have some fun creating different sound
patterns for each other to build.
• Work with another couple to create patterns
for each other in groups of four.

DEPTH

PERCEPTION

• Children work individually initially then in
pairs. This activity aims at developing
depth perception as well as near-far eye
movement.
• Show the picture of a model and the
children must build it using the bricks.

Variations:
• Position the bricks horizontally and
vertically.
• Teacher builds a model which is then
placed in one position and viewed from
one point. Children then copy this
model.
