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 a high and stable tower together. We each get a pile of building bricks and we only build with the bricks from our own pile. The only rule is that we use all our bricks on the tower. Together, we figure out how to build the tower. There are many ways to build a tower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We practice building together and try to use our former experiences to reflect upon the activity together. Maybe we learn something new about each other, like how to build something together.”<\/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 some building materials appropriate for building towers. We can choose one kind of material the children like or a mix of building materials, for example Lego, Bakoba, or wooden bricks. <\/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 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
