SAVE THE EGG!

• Children work in a group of 6, with all the bricks
piled in the middle.
• Children will need a few extra bits of material for
this exercise: wool, netting, cotton wool, paper,
material scraps etc.
• Use your bricks to build a wall for Humpty Dumpty.
• When Humpty fell off the wall in the nursery rhyme,
he broke. You need to re-build the wall, with a
safety precaution built in, so that if Humpty falls, he
will not break.

Q: Did you all work together to plan a
solution?
Q: Did everyone in the group have a chance
to contribute an idea and to build something?

BUILD A BOX

• Children work in a group of 6, with all the bricks
piled in the middle.
• As a group, you need to design and build a “desk
caddy” to hold a pencil, a ruler, a pair of scissors,
and some crayons.
• Children may only use their combined bricks to
build this model.

Q: Did you all have a turn to give your ideas?
Q: Did you plan first?
Q: Do you have a colour scheme or pattern?
Q: Does your caddy hold all the stationery it
needs to?
Q: Can you come up with an idea of a name for
your model?

Variations:
• Children can be tasked with building various other
models in order to practise their social skills by
working in groups.
• Some ideas: Build a tissue box cover; a box to
hold your pencil sharpenings; a box to hold your
lunch; an attractive container to hold some sweets
/ biscuits etc.
