Within the STEM area we have been learning about our bodies and how they work. Today we focused on learning about our hands and our sense of touch. To help our understanding we played a game of What’s in the Box? The children had to close their eyes while I placed three objects in the box. Then they had to put their hands through the holes in the side of the box and feel the objects, describing them to their friends. Next they had to match the objects from the tray to what they felt and place them on top of the box. Lastly, turn the box around for the big reveal, does it match?
The children then decided they would like to play the game independently.
They were absolutely fantastic at taking turns and encouraging each other to describe the objects. They even started increasing the amount of objects they had to feel.
Time for the big reveal- is it a match???
Yeesssss!!
There was great excitement when we made the match!
The boys and girls used great descriptive language and demonstrated brilliant co-operative working. Well done, everyone!
