Objective

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to build a tower using Duplo blocks.

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.
