Students will be able to improve their fine motor skills through play. Connecting the bricks with precision and detail strengthens fine motor skills and improves hand-eye coordination. Picking up LEGO pieces with their fingers builds muscles and skill your child may need when holding and controlling a pencil to write or draw. One of the main aspects of our LEGO® play is that children can work collaboratively in a small group to create something together. All children are given a set role; one week they may be the Builder, the next the Architect, the next the Supplier and then the Director! Children are taught special rules for each role and respect and listen to each other, according to whose role needs to come into play and when. The collaborative teamwork encourages joint focus, sharing, reinforces positive behavior and social contact. Social skills and conventions are encouraged and reinforced by the facilitator. The following of instructions, deciphering order, understanding quantity, symmetry, patterns and location of the bricks, helps children to develop on their mathematical skills and spatial awareness and encourages them in developing how to problem solve and come up with new ideas. Students are also able to create models, carry out investigations, and improve their engineering skills.
