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: \u201dWe practice building something together. Maybe we will learn something new about each other today, like how we can explain things to each other. Together, we build an exact copy of a secret figure in a box. The challenge is that we can only build with the materials from our own pile, which means we each have one color. There are two rules:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. We take turns at looking at the secret figure and then go back to put a brick on our shared figure, or we can ask our partner to put one of their bricks on it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. We only talk when we sit down. We are quiet when we are standing up.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    When we think our shared figure is an exact copy of the secret figure, we say \u2018done\u2019.\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 build 2 secret figures from 20 bricks beforehand. The building materials are color coordinated and given one pile each which contains the same number of bricks as the figures, plus a bit more.<\/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
