Building Block Fun

We have had indoor recess after indoor recess and I've noticed that my students have a particular interest in 'building 'this year.  Perhaps it's the new Lego movie coming out or I have a room full of future engineers ;)

In either case, I have a new math station and a freebie to share with you tonight.

First, the new station.  It requires students to work with a partner or small group.  They will roll a dice, add ten and cover the number.  To allow for differentiation I have included a counting on card.  I will have students place the dice on the card then use the ten frame of building blocks to count on.


As you can see there is an I can card included to build student independence and every page is included in color and black & white.


You can find this math station at my TPT store HERE.

Now how about that freebie I mentioned?  I saw a picture on Pinterest of a building block board game and it sparked an idea so I thought I would share with you :)
Students spin the spinner and move up the board following the directions as they travel.  (The building possibilities are endless with just the spinner.)
I have included an I can... card to keep students in task.
The goal is to build the highest tower.

You can download a copy for free HERE.

Now, let's see who's spending a quiet Friday night at home.  I'll send a copy of my Adding 10 activity to the first 3 people who comment on this post :)

    2. Yes, ok, thank you. I thought take meant to minus off or take away from your already built tower. We will try again tomorrow. Thanks from here in New Zealand :-)

    1. Hi there, Just start with a pile of Lego bricks and take from the pile to add to your man when you land on those squares and put back bricks when requested to do so When you get to the end see who has built the tallest man! Hope that helps.

  56. Every teacher should give the pupils the confidence that they are doing the best and correct them accordingly. When the teacher sees a child as insufficient in education, the child ends up being unconfident on the things he or she does. Therefore, just as the blogger has put it, teachers should have the reason for their pupils to smile just the way expert Capstone Project Editing Help has caused many scholars to smile.

    When selecting a building block set, make sure to look for a safe one for young children. While most of these toys are great for young children, be aware of potential choking hazards. In addition, many traditional LEGO sets are made of small pieces that are difficult for small children to manage. If you're looking for a set for a toddler or preschooler, choose one with fewer pieces but still plenty of variety.
