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: \u201dThe activity is about building and guessing figures. We have about 15 minutes to finish building something. We cannot tell each other what we are building but we can still talk. Every 5 minutes there will be a timeout, where we try to guess what the other is building. It is not a competition and therefore there is no points for a right guess. When we are done, we show each other our models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We practice building something together and we all try to use our previous experiences to reflect on our play. Maybe we will learn something new about each other today, like how we can make it fun for us to guess.\u201d<\/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. We can mix materials as all that matters is the material motivates us.<\/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
