During this intervention, each of the pupils has one of these roles:

  • Builder: constructs the model, listens to the architect.

  • Supplier: selects the bricks at each stage, listens to the architect.

  • Architect: holds the instructions, describes the bricks to the supplier, instructs the builder where to put them. 

  • Facilitator: identifies problems and supports the group with solution.

The pupils are split into two groups depending on the type of activity which best suits their need: active and calming. 

Calming activities include: putty, bubbles, Lego, drawing or board games!

Active activities include:
  • Running activities (relays, farmers and foxes etc)
  • Circuits (different activities at each station, balancing, throwing, ladder work. We use bean bags, skipping ropes etc).
  • Basketball (free time and we have shooting competitions)
  • Space hopper races 
  • Whats the Time, Mr Wolf?
  • Giant parachute games
