About the activity
Step 1
Working in small groups, place a LEGO brick in the centre of the table. The first child rolls the dice. If it lands on a two they must choose a brick and cover two studs of the brick on the table. If it lands on a three they must cover three studs, and so on.
Step 2
Go round the table taking turns to roll a dice and cover that number of studs on the brick below. As the tower grows, think about the best ways to keep the model balanced.
Step 3
Rolling the the number five is tricky as you cannot cover five studs. Together, decide what happens if someone rolls a five. For example, will you miss a turn, or remove a brick from the tower? How tall can you make your tower?
