By the end of this lesson, the student will be able to build legos using picture directions.

Materials and Prep

• Legos
• Printed Lego building instructions with pictures

Activities

• Activity 1: Introduction to Legos

Start by showing the student different types of Lego pieces and explaining their purpose. Let them explore the pieces and encourage them to ask questions.

• Activity 2: Understanding Picture Directions

Show the student the printed Lego building instructions with pictures. Explain that the pictures show the step-by-step process of building a Lego model. Discuss how to follow the pictures and match the Lego pieces accordingly.

• Activity 3: Building a Simple Lego Model

Select a simple Lego model from the instructions and guide the student through the building process. Encourage them to follow the pictures and assemble the pieces accordingly. Provide assistance when needed.

• Activity 4: Independent Lego Building

Allow the student to choose a different Lego model from the instructions and attempt to build it independently. Offer guidance and support as necessary, but encourage them to rely on the picture directions.

Talking Points

• Legos are colorful building blocks that can be assembled in different ways.
• Picture directions show us how to build something step by step.
• We need to look at the pictures carefully and match the Lego pieces with what we see.
• If we get stuck, we can ask for help or look at the pictures again.
• It's okay to make mistakes! We can always take apart the pieces and try again.
