Suggestion for introduction<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We create a motivating framework for the children.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, we can say: \u201dMaybe we learn something new about each other today, like how we ask curious questions and give answers. Today, we will build secret figures with two rules:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. We each build a secret figure with 10-15 bricks. It does not have to look like anything in particular.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Our figure needs to be hidden from the others at all time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    We have two roles that we switch having: the Figure Owner and the Copycats. The Copycats work together creating a copy of the Figure Owner’s secret figure. Their only information are the questions that they ask the Figure Owner. And the Figure Owner answers as best he can. The Copy Cats may talk to each other and make a shared plan.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Time<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The activity can be adapted to the framework of one lesson and varied according to the time available and the children’s prerequisites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Materials<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    We use small Lego sets that we are familiar with, or wooden blocks, colored cubes, magnetic tiles, paper, or something else. The most important thing is that there are many bricks of all kinds, so that all the figures can be copied. In addition, we must have some kind of shielding for each child.<\/p>\n\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <\/details>\r\n\r\n<\/section>\r\n\n\n\r\n

    During the play session, the children encounter challenges and successes, where we can stop and help spot what is difficult or what is going well. We can do this in several ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Reflection routines <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    When we get the opportunity to reflect together with the children on what challenges or discoveries arise along the way, we can use one or more reflection routines<\/a>. It could be, for example, a learning metaphor<\/a> with a social strategy that we practice, an emoji<\/a> that describes the feeling we have right now, or a rating<\/a> of how well we think the building is going. In this way, a reflection routine can help to show and put into words the experiences that the children have during the play session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Facilitating questions<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    We can ask facilitating questions to the children along the way, as they naturally arise in the building process. In this way, we facilitate the play session so that we continue the play and at the same time learn something from it. For example:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
