Lego Six Bricks (Level 1 & 2) 1st & 2nd Feb 2023

SIX BRICKS

LEGO® / DUPLO® in the classroom

Certified Online Level 1 and 2 Training Programme for Primary Teachers, SEN Staff, SNAs & Early Childhood Practitioners

Six Bricks activities are short, simple exercises, many of which only take a couple of minutes to do. They are not a curriculum but they are designed to support all areas of development in the curriculum. They help to wake up a child’s brain and get them moving, thinking and remembering.              

Every child has a set of six bricks, one of each colour (Red, Yellow, Orange, Green, Light blue and dark blue). The teacher can then quickly and easily facilitate an activity at any time. Repetition brings about better organization of the brain and the secret of the success of these activities lies in their regular repetition which enables children to consolidate new knowledge. Six Bricks activities are in development all the time and there are now more than 300 activities supporting different areas of development.
