20 min
1 participantRecognize letter bricks and make their sounds. Track a row and sing a rhythm to match the pattern that is found.
Let's play!
Track the line of bricks with your index fingers.
Pronounce each letter as you touch it.
Make a beat box sound (e.g. “bing” or “bang” ...) for each brick that is not a letter.
How to prepare
1 base plate
10 letter bricks, from “A” to “J”
10 Classic LEGO bricks (4x2)
1 bowl
Align 11 bricks across the top of the base plate, alternating Classic and braille bricks and leaving a space between each of them.
Place the other bricks in the bowl.
Facilitation tips

Suggest “Imagine and sing a song or a rhythm”.
Suggest “Tell a story in relation to your song”.
Possible variations
Change the number of letters/rows/spaces/columns.
