PLAY NOW

• Children work in groups of 4 - 6.
• Place your 6 bricks loosely in your lap, hidden
from the rest of the group.
• When Child No. 1 says, ”Play now!” all place any
colour brick on top of the table for all to see.
• If any of the colours are the same as Child No. 1,
you must give those bricks to him / her.
• Play 2 rounds for each person in the group.
• The winner is the one with the most bricks at the
end.
• Think of other ways to play this game.

DECISION DICE

• Children can work with a partner or in small
groups.
• Each child brings their chair to the play area
and they sit on their chair to play this game.
• Use one set of 6 bricks to build a cube; each
group will also need a dice.
• Teacher displays a key to the numbers on the
dice - e.g. if a child throws a one, they must use
their feet to pass the cube to each other; if they
throw a two, they must pass the cube with their
left hand; if they throw a four, they must pass
the cube from under their chin etc.
• Children can help Teacher to decide on different
ways to pass the cube.
• Children refer to the key each time they throw
the dice to see how they have to pass the cube.
• Children can think of different ways to play this
game, and come up with their own rules and
ideas for scoring.
