*Tip: Another fun idea when playing with groups is to try and guess what the student is making by keeping others from seeing the challenge card. Each student draws a card, and their peers need to guess what it is before the time runs out.
Make A Pattern
Something as simple as creating your own pattern can be challenging…Give it a try!
Stack them tall, or lay them flat, each pattern is consistent and unique. See how many patterns you can make before you run out of all the blocks.
Have groups of two build a pattern together. Learning doesn’t always have to be boring. This activity brings imaginative thinking, group balance, and hands-on engagement.
