What do children do in Brick Club?
​
Children build LEGO® models in groups of 2 or 3 with adult help.
​
Sessions are usually 1hour long.
​
Building models more creatively, without instructions in pairs or small groups.
​
Children take it in turns to play the different roles.
​
One child finds the bricks (the ‘supplier’), another has the instructions (the ‘engineer’) third child puts the model together (the ‘builder’).
​
The adult running the group prompts children to solve any social difficulties that might arise. If there is a problem (e.g. if one child snatches a brick), everyone stops building, sorts out the problem together, and practices an alternative strategy (e.g. asking for the brick first).
