Tower Building - 4-5 bricks or other items that will stack. | - Show your child the items. - Stack them on top of each other - use words while you are stacking, this could be the number, e.g. 1, 2, 3..., or the colour, e.g. red, green yellow, or brick, more bricks. - Use 'ready steady...' or 'i, 2, 3 knock down' while you knock the tower down. - Rebuild the tower and carry out the sequence again. - When your child becomes familiar with this routine see if they copy you by knocking the tower down. |
