Where the Six Bricks Magic begins for children...
Attitude & motivation
It has been reported that children using Six Bricks display higher levels of engagement during activities. The 'fear' linked to initiating activities linked to learning is decreased as they enjoy solving problems and tackling new tasks with the bricks. Due to the joyful experience linked to Lego products, children are more likely to persist in the face of difficulties.
Plan, focus, shift attention
During activities, children display increased levels of concentration and distractions are not as enticing. They begin to monitor their own progress and seek assistance only when needed as they develop a sense of 'can do'. They begin to plan their own tasks, targets and goals as they develop their own ways of carrying out tasks. All this is linked to the development of language to express their thought patterns as they work through the problems they encounter.
Pro-Social
Because of the joyful environment, conducive to learning, that is established by adding a Lego product to the learning activity, children develop their confidence and will begin to verbalise what they have made, explain how they made it and express what they have learned by using the bricks as a visual prompt.
