DOMINO RATTLE

• Working in groups of 5 or 6, ask the learners to place
their bricks into one pile.
• Each learner must place the bricks, one at a time, in a
row to build a domino line. The bricks must be placed
upright, balancing on the small edge. The objective is
make one long line to finish the pile of bricks. Once all
the bricks have been placed then one child can knock
the first brick to see if they can create a domino rattle
and knock all the bricks down.
• If the bricks are knocked down while creating the line
then the group must start again.

Q: What shapes can you create in your domino line?
Q: Could you join up with other groups to spell out a
word?

GAME WITH

DICE

• Children work in groups of 4 and place their
bricks in a pile together. Each group must
have one dice. One brick must be placed as a
starting block for the game.
• Taking turns, each child will throw the dice.
The child must call out the number that the dice
shows. He / She must then pick up one brick
and place it over the number of studs shown
on the dice. E.g. The dice shows 2. The child
must place his / her brick over the starting block
covering 2 studs. The model that the children
are starting to build must always balance and
not fall over.
• The game continues with each child having
a chance to throw the dice and build onto the
model.
• The game ends when the tower falls
over or cannot balance.
