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

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

For example, we can say: \u201cWe have several small models with instructions in front of us. We each choose two models that we would like to build. We build our models according to the instructions. There is no winning because it is not a competition. In fact, we can help each other, because in the end, we can see how the models fit together and they might become a good story or something we can play together with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time<\/strong><\/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 child’s prerequisites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

We can use small Lego sets (with approx. 20-40 pieces), or wooden blocks, colored cubes, magnetic tiles, paper, or something else – as long as we have instructions or a model that we can follow. We try to find models with instructions of approximately the same amount of pieces. <\/p>\n\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <\/details>\r\n\r\n<\/section>\r\n\n\n\r\n

\r\n \n\n

During the play session, the child encounters 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 child 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 child has during the play session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

We can ask facilitating questions to the child 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
