Talking Points

• Shapes are like the different blocks we see in Minecraft. Squares have four sides that are all the same length. Can you find a square block in the game?
• Colors help us make things look pretty in Minecraft. Let's find blocks that are the same color as the sky in the game. What color is the sky?
• When we build in Minecraft, we can use different shapes to create interesting structures. What shape do you want to use for the roof of our house?
