BRICK-IN-A-BIN

• Children work in teams of 4 - 6, each holds their six
bricks in a stack.
• They line up at a certain distance from the (empty) bin.
(or a cardboard box)
• Children take turns to throw their bricks, one at a time,
into the bin.
• They can keep score of how many they get in the bin.
• When the whole team has had their turn, they tally all
the bricks in the bin to determine the winning team.

Variations:
• Teams can come up with some of their own ideas on
scoring for this game.
• Teacher could have six bins, each a colour of one of
the six bricks.
• Children have to move around to throw their bricks into
the correct colour target.

Q: Which team can be finished first?

HIDE AND

GO SEEK

• Children form teams of six. They play with
one cube of six bricks, made up in one
colour.
• Each group of six has a different colour
cube.
• One child in each group hides their cube and
tells the rest in the team when they can go
and look for it.
• That child can tell their teammates whether
they are “hot” or “cold” in their search for the
cube.
• Once the cube is found, another child from
the group becomes the one to hide the cube.
