Building Blocks

Simple things used to explore more complicated concepts.

Jenga blocks and wooden dominos are endlessly useful. In their usual form, you can explore structure, strength and stability. Making domino rallies helps with angles, design and the knock-on-effect of actions and energy transfer.

If you're feeling creative, there are loads of write-on-the-block ideas:

  • sums (colour code by difficulty)
  • emotions
  • questions/conversation starters
  • music notes (build a tune)
  • word types (noun, adjective, verb etc)
  • story ideas (build a story) 
  • spellings (write a word on all 4 faces, 3 incorrect and 1 correct)
