Materials and Prep

• A set of Lego bricks

Activities

1. Word Building: Choose a Lego brick and write down its color. Then, using the letters on the brick, try to create as many words as you can. Write each word on a separate piece of paper.

2. Spelling Challenge: Write down the names of different Lego sets or Lego characters. Ask a family member or friend to call out the names while you spell them out loud. Keep track of how many words you spell correctly.

3. Lego Story: Use your Lego bricks to build a scene or a character. Write a short story about your creation, making sure to include at least five spelling words from the previous activities.

First Grade Talking Points

• "Lego bricks come in different colors. Can you name some colors you see on your Lego bricks?"
• "We can use the letters on the Lego bricks to create words. Let's try to make as many words as we can using the letters on one brick."
• "Spelling is important because it helps us write words correctly. Can you spell your favorite Lego character's name?"
• "Building with Lego bricks allows us to create our own stories. Let's build something and then write a story about it, using some of the words we spelled earlier."
• "Great job today! You learned new words and practiced your spelling skills. Keep building and spelling!"
