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

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

For instance, we can say: “We practice building together and we try to use what we have already learned to reflect on the activity together. Maybe we learn something new about each other, like how we can share good ideas. The play is about building a model together. We decide for ourselves what we want to build. It could be a robot, a flower, or something else. We have to follow three rules for building. For instance: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. We each have a different color of bricks we can use to build with.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. We cannot put two bricks of different colors on top of each other.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. We take turns at placing a brick on the model.”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\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 can use small Lego sets that we are familiar with, or wooden blocks, plus-plus, magnetic tiles, paper, or something else – as long as we have preprinted instructions or a model that we can follow. We each get 30-40 bricks with different colors.<\/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: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
