Six Bricks Activity-Follow the Builder




This introductory six bricks activity will help develop children's oral language skills such as listening, speaking, and communicating.


Activity Directions:

  • Divide students in small groups of 3-4. The teacher will prepare a model using basic bricks and place it somewhere where the children cannot see it. Each group will have a set of bricks.

  • Groups will select one lead builder who will see how the model is built.

  • They will then return to the group and explain it to his/her group.

  • The group should try to build according to the instructions, and lead builder is not allowed to touch any bricks.

  • The lead builder can go back and forth several times to check and remember details.

  • Continue until the groups have finalized their models and compare their builds.


Discussion Points for after the activity:

  • What was easy or difficult about remembering the model?

  • What "tricks" did you use to remember?

  • What was it like trying to follow the instructions?

  • How can you help each other when working together?
