How to Make a Block Puzzle to Strengthen Shape Skills

@.vs9086

This time it’s a “Lego puzzle that boosts shape sense.” Making it and solving it both really work your brain. Even adults feel a real sense of accomplishment when they solve it! It’s a great brain-training activity. How to make it: (1) Stack plates to make the base. (2) Flip it over and add a frame. (3) Leave one small opening in the frame to make it easier to take pieces out. (4) Combine two-stud-wide plates to make the pieces. (5) It’s tricky to make the pieces fit perfectly. My 4th-grade older son can both build and solve the puzzle. My 1st-grade younger son had fun solving it! It’s compact, so you can pop it in a bag and take it with you. Great for passing time outdoors too—highly recommended. －－－－－－－ We share fun, brain-boosting activities that elementary schoolers get more hooked on than the Switch—and that grow their talents!

A block puzzle you can get absorbed in

http://www.lemon8-app.com

Let’s try making and playing with an original puzzle using blocks.

First, make a frame for the puzzle.

Then, create pieces out of blocks so they fit perfectly into the frame.

Since it’s original, the shape of the pieces is up to you as long as they fill the frame with no gaps.

But making these pieces is surprisingly tricky.

Think of it as brain training and have fun creating them.

This puzzle can be played solo or with friends, and since it’s made of blocks, it’s easy to carry around.

It’s perfect for when you want to focus on playing or kill a bit of time.

Solo play that’s safe even if you fall

http://www.lemon8-app.com

Kids falling down is common, and even though we know that, every time we see our child hurt and crying, we can’t help wanting to do something to help.

So let’s add a play activity that teaches foot control.

Fix pool noodles that have been cut in half lengthwise onto a wire grid.

Place a short piece of pool noodle under the wire grid to make a seesaw, then set a marble in the center groove of the pool noodle.

Have your child place their feet on both ends of the wire grid and move the seesaw left and right, controlling it so the rolling marble doesn’t fall off.

3 fingerplay activities that engage first graders

[A Must-See for Teachers] 3 Hand Games That Captivate First Graders

The first is the classic “after-the-fact Rock-Paper-Scissors.” The leader says “Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!” and throws rock, scissors, or paper.

Participants watch and then play after the leader, aiming to win.

The second is a game called “Pachi-Pachi.” You clap only when the leader’s hands overlap.

Adding feints makes it more exciting.

The third is a game called “How Many Fingers?” The leader quickly shows a number with their fingers, then hides their hands behind their back.

Participants answer the number the leader showed.

Ball games you can play with two people!

[Game] 2-Player Ball Games: 8 Recommended Activities Even Lower Grades Can Do

Balls are very familiar playthings for children, and the ways to enjoy them are limitless! This time, we’re introducing eight ball games for lower-grade students.

In addition to balls, items like hula hoops are used to help kids improve their physical abilities while having fun.

Basically, children pair up in twos and play by throwing or rolling the ball, or dodging a bouncing ball.

There are also games with sport-like elements—such as Copycat Dribble, Hoop Pass Tennis, and Marker Hockey—so we hope even kids who feel uneasy about ball sports will take this opportunity to get interested.

Exercise play you can enjoy at home

Introducing age-appropriate physical play you can do at home [Rakuwakai Health Class Web Edition]

Even when you can’t play outside, you still want to move your body! In times like that, let’s enjoy some active play at home.

For infants and toddlers, try baby massage or touch-and-play activities.

For preschoolers through elementary school kids, how about a spy game with a treasure hunt or a round of table tennis on the table? For the spy game, setting up obstacles around the room and preparing a treasure map can really liven things up.

For table tennis, you can substitute household items: a tissue box for the net, a pot lid for the paddle, and a super ball for the ball.

Word Rhythm Play is a game you can enjoy while moving your body, building vocabulary and a sense of rhythm, and training skills like quick thinking and problem-solving.

Listen to the beat and match your words to it.

Any words are fine, but the key is to stay on rhythm.

Start with an easy beat and gradually increase the difficulty.

Once you get used to it, adding handclaps while playing can make it even more exciting.
