Materials and Prep

  • Duplo blocks

No prior knowledge or preparation is required for this lesson.

Activities

  • Activity 1: Sorting the blocks

    • Start by sorting the Duplo blocks by color or size. This will help you identify the blocks you have and make it easier to build your tower.

  • Activity 2: Building a small tower

    • Begin by selecting a few blocks of different sizes. Start with the largest block as the base and stack the smaller blocks on top to create a tower. See how high you can build it without it falling down.

  • Activity 3: Building a tall tower

    • Challenge yourself to build a taller tower by adding more blocks. Remember to keep the base stable and try to balance the blocks as you stack them.

  • Activity 4: Building a tower with a pattern

    • Create a tower using blocks of different colors in a specific pattern. For example, you can alternate between red and blue blocks as you stack them. Get creative and make your tower visually appealing!

Talking Points

  • Blocks come in different shapes and sizes.
  • The larger blocks can provide a stable base for the tower.
  • When stacking blocks, it's important to balance them to prevent the tower from falling.
  • You can use different colors to make your tower more interesting.
  • Building a tower requires patience and problem-solving skills.
  • It's okay if your tower falls down, just try again and learn from the experience.
