PWA Lead Can {LEARNER_FNAME} find stackable things around the house to build a tower? Have fun playing this creative game.
PWA Materials Stackable objects (books, coins, plates, cookies, and so on)
PWA Progress Marker Finds new sets of stackable items consistently;Searches for other alternatives to stackable objects;Finds more sets of stackable objects more quickly
PWA Question Body How long did it take {LEARNER_FNAME} to find a new stackable object to build a tower in round 3 or 4?
PWA Tags Construction;Imagination/ Pretend;Indoor
PWA Try this Prepare by collecting some blocks and try to have some other stackable and non-stackable objects in the room. Begin by making a tower out of the blocks.  After a few minutes, say: Now let’s make another tower next to this one. But we can’t use any blocks. What else can you use?  Encourage {LEARNER_FNAME} to find some other objects to stack to build a new tower. {SUBJ_PRONOUN_T_CASE} could use books, coins or even cookies. Play a few rounds of the game, finding new objects to build with each time.
PWA Variations
PWA What to look How quickly does {LEARNER_FNAME} find new objects around the house to build with? Once {SUBJ_PRONOUN} finds one stackable object, is {SUBJ_PRONOUN} able to find another? See whether {SUBJ_PRONOUN} understand what types of materials will be easily stackable, or whether {SUBJ_PRONOUN} chooses objects that are irregular in shape and difficult to stack.
PWA Why this matters When children are required to think creatively while playing a game, it can help to improve their cognitive flexibility. Being able to adjust is a skill which can improve with time and practice. UTM-EM-042-MAR-21
