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 to collaborate on a task without using words. The activity is about us building together (e.g.) a skyscraper with doors, windows, and other things that we think should be on a skyscraper. There are some simple building rules we follow while building:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. We take turns on placing a brick.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. We can only use bricks from our own pile.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. All the bricks must be used.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. We cannot use words while building. But we can point, laugh, use sounds, make noises, nod etc.\u201d<\/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. We each get about 40 bricks. The most important thing is that the materials make us want to build.<\/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
