Steps

  • Step 1

    Let's get ready to play!

    Pile of LEGO Bricks

    Sit in a circle and pour out a box of brightly coloured LEGO® bricks in the middle of the group

  • Step 2

    Blue bananas?

    Pile of blue LEGO bricks

    Go around naming different types of fruit, after each one is called out, find a brick with the colour they associate that fruit with, and place it in front of them.

  • Step 3

    So many colours!

    Pile of LEGO bricks

    Ask everyone to share the coloured bricks they have, and discuss why they might have different ones – what did they think about?

  • Step 4

    Can you build it?

    A LEGO pear

    See if you can make a fruit from the bricks you have… can’t think of anything to make? Then why not create a new kind of fruit!

Food for thought

Remember that there is no right and wrong here, and the children should not correct each other – one child might be thinking about a red apple and another thinking about a green apple.
