SNAP!

• Children work in groups of 4 - 6 with their 6 bricks
piled in their lap / out of their partner’s sight.
• Each child pulls out any brick - if any two / three /
four children pull out the same colour, the first one
to shout “SNAP!” wins a counter.
• Play a few rounds, then tally up your counters to
see who got the most.

MINUTE TO

WIN IT

For this activity you will need a stop watch.

• Children work groups of 3.
• Each child places their bricks together on the
table.
• The teacher gives the children a challenge which
must be completed in one minute. (Have a stop
watch handy.)
• The first activity is to create a tower using 18
bricks. The trick is that no bricks may be clicked
together and all bricks must be placed on their
smallest flat side in a vertical position.
• Each child in the group has a chance to try and
build the tower in one minute.
• Those who succeed can go through to another
knock-out round to ultimately find a winner.
• Different challenges can be created and given to
the children to complete or the children can think
of other challenges.
