Six Bricks is a hands-on tool for learning. Through fun and short activities with sets of Lego bricks in six bright colours, children can practice their memory, movement, creativity and more. When they are engaged and challenged in playful ways, children practice skills for learning:

• Language - describing in rich detail, giving clear instructions, explaining your reasons, and telling stories, which helps you to communicate with others and express your ideas.
  
• Problem solving - to stay focused, and remember a task or a challenge, set goals and make plans, come up with creative ideas, and reflect on what you do and how you do it.
  
• Collaboration - working together in pairs or teams, share turns and the materials you work with, learn from your peers and their ideas, and give each other roles and responsibilities.

During this workshop, participants will get a chance to engage with some of the six bricks activities and explore the potential for the classroom.
