Objective

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to use building blocks to create different structures and describe them using English words.

Materials and Prep

• Building blocks of various shapes and sizes
• A clean and safe play area
• Enthusiasm and creativity!

Activities

• Free Play: Allow the student to explore and build with the building blocks freely. Encourage them to use their imagination and create different structures.
• Shape Sorting: Ask the student to sort the building blocks by shape. Help them identify and name the different shapes they encounter. For example, "Look, this block is a square! Can you find another square block?"
• Building Challenge: Give the student a specific challenge, such as building a tall tower or a bridge. Encourage them to describe their creation using English words. For example, "Wow, your tower is so tall! How many blocks did you use?"
• Storytelling: Ask the student to create a story using the building blocks. They can build different scenes and describe what is happening using English words. For example, "Once upon a time, there was a princess who lived in a castle made of blocks."

Talking Points

• Building blocks come in different shapes and sizes. We can find squares, rectangles, circles, and triangles!
• When we build with blocks, we can make towers, houses, and bridges. What else can you build?
• Using English words, we can describe our creations. We can say things like "tall tower," "colorful house," or "strong bridge."
• Building with blocks helps us use our imagination and be creative.
• It's important to have fun while building with blocks and learning English!
