Several ways to play building blocks are introduced:
1. Count
You can choose some building blocks with the same size, preferably a 2*2 cube, so that it is not too small and unsafe for children, nor too big to grasp.
In addition to the routine fetching by the number of objects and the given number, you can also play with grouping counting, for example, two objects are counted as a group, and three objects can be counted as a group. There is also hidden counting. First, count the total, and then take some building blocks at random. Let the children guess how many they have taken by counting how many are left. This is actually preparing for subtraction.
2. Classification
There are various ways to play the game of building blocks classification. One of my favorite ways to play is guessing. For example, ten building blocks are arranged in a row to observe first, and then I randomly select one, so that children can guess which one I choose by asking questions, and I will only answer yes or no. Questions can be asked like this:
"Is it red" and "No".
"Is it blue", "Yes".
"Is it a cube", "No".
"Is it cylindrical", "Yes".
"Then I guess it's the third one", "Congratulations on your right guess!"
In order to keep the game interesting, you can decide that you can only ask a few questions first, and if you don't guess correctly, you will lose. Children can also choose objects and parents can ask questions. Isn't it interesting?
3. Addition and subtraction
Two people divide the building blocks equally, and then throw out a few randomly at a time, and shout out the formula at the first time. For example, if a child throws out three building blocks and I throw out two building blocks, it is necessary to shout out 3+2=5 as quickly as possible, even if you don't shout out or shout wrong within 3 seconds, even if you lose, you should give the other party a building block. You can not only exercise your computing ability, but also your reaction ability.
4. Multi-angle observation
It is said that children who often play with building blocks will not be poor in spatial imagination. Why? It is because building blocks provide a lot of opportunities for multi-angle observation, and then they constantly form memories in their minds.
For example, if you build a three-dimensional building, it will definitely be different from all angles. Generally, it can be divided into front view, side view and top view. Children can draw a picture of what they see on paper. If they have no idea, they can cast lights on it and then look at the shadows. Moreover, this game can constantly increase the difficulty and never tire of playing it.
5. Guess the number
This can not only exercise the spatial imagination ability, but also exercise the point ability, which can be combined with the previous game. Use cube building blocks, set up any shape at will, and then look down from top to bottom to guess how many building blocks there are in a * * *. The difficulty can be gradually increased, which is a great exercise in three-dimensional sense!
