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

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

For example, we can say: “Today, we build bridges. We decide ourselves how they look and where they should be placed. It is not about building the longest bridge but rather your own bridge. Which types of bridges do you think we will build and what happens around and on them? Who uses the bridges?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We practice building together and we try using our former experiences to reflect upon the activity together. Maybe we learn something new about each other today, like how we can share a good story.”<\/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 need to use materials that are suitable for building bridges. We can choose one type of material the children like, or we can mix materials, for example, Lego, Kapla, Bakoba and so on.<\/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
