Thank you for being with us ;)

Marie Oddoux replied to yosra zaghbib
Totally agree, well said, thanks!
-
Awesome, so you were really to work with 3 different students. Like this idea!
-
Marie Oddoux replied to Dalia Andrea Galindo
yes, we also tried activities with a plate made à play dough, to offer more possibilities
-
Marie Oddoux replied to Sarah McClenaghan
it should always be adapted to the child, you are right!
-
I'm sure they will enjoy it!
-
You can also make your own with cardboard or recycled plastic
-
Marie Oddoux replied to harry kim
You are totally right. Each activity must be adapted to the level of the children doing it. Sometimes, you will need to make it easier, sometimes more difficult.
-
Marie Oddoux replied to harry kim
Yes, it is important to ask the kids why they do things and help them find solutions and strategies...
-
Marie Oddoux replied to maria cenicola
Go for it!
-
Marie Oddoux replied to KIMBERLY MCCOMBS
What a great example of facilitation!
-
that is also a solution, thanks for sharing!

Marie Oddoux replied to Stephannie M
The bricks were new: they are easier to replace once you have used them a little. Yes, the students love to use the brick separator. Remember that sighted people rely a lot on their vision to attach a brick. When you are blind, it takes more time and effort to perfectly adjust the elements you want to assemble.
-
Sorry but we cannot change the shapes or textures, as they are 2X4 LEGO bricks
-
Marie Oddoux replied to Sarah McClenaghan
Cool, you turned it into a memory game :)
-
-
-
Yes, you're right: several lessons may be necessary, progressing until you have acquired knowledge of the organisation of a Braille cell.
-
Marie Oddoux replied to harry kim
Multiple step activities are really interesting. You can always simplify or make them more difficult...
-
Marie Oddoux replied to harry kim
They had so much fun!!!
-
Marie Oddoux replied to harry kim
Great suggestion of a lesson plan, thanks!
-
Happy to read this is helpful.
-
just use some magnetic tape and stick a piece below the bricks. We tried and it works well. Some teachers found small round-magnets that you can insert inside the bricks' holes.

Marie Oddoux replied to Priscilla Banda
happy to read you liked it
-
Marie Oddoux replied to harry kim
Super suggestion, thanks!
-
Marie Oddoux replied to harry kim
He really enjoyed the moment :)
-
Marie Oddoux replied to harry kim
they can be so creative with these mini figures!!!
-
Marie Oddoux replied to harry kim
and they enjoy doing something similar to their peers.
-
Marie Oddoux replied to Priscilla Banda
Did you try these activities?
-
Marie Oddoux replied to Sarah McClenaghan
Great! Do not hesitate to share afterwards, on LEGO Braille Bricks community, Facebook
-
Marie Oddoux replied to Lindsay Kerr
Great suggestion, thanks!
-
Marie Oddoux replied to Dalia Andrea Galindo
you're right, but these wire can be tricky to find, so we wanted to try with another solution :)
-
Marie Oddoux replied to Lisa Cooke
He is using the dots! he cannot see the colours, but he is reading really quickly in braille, and the video was edited.
-
Marie Oddoux replied to Tania Westren
Great! The students love to use the bricks for maths :)
-
Marie Oddoux replied to Lyubov Bobchynets
Great idea, thanks!
-
Marie Oddoux replied to Lyubov Bobchynets
You're welcome!
-
Marie Oddoux replied to Marcus Wallis
It is a lesson plan combining 4 different activities. It can be too long or too short, depending on the children doing it! You are more than welcome to adjust the timing, it is just an average time that we suggest ;)
-
Marie Oddoux replied to Amy Lund
Yes, you can start with a memory game and make things more complicated with this activity :)
-
Marie Oddoux replied to Amy Lund
It is a great activity to play in inclusion!!!
-
Marie Oddoux replied to Amy Lund
Oh, nice to hear!
-
Marie Oddoux replied to Annie Williams
You'll have fun!
-
Marie Oddoux replied to Marie Henrist
Bonjour Marie,
Merci pour votre commentaire. Les briques ne sont distribuées qu'aux enfants. En effet, les actions de La Fondation LEGO sont exclusivement à destination des enfants. -
et il retiendra bien mieux les informations !
-
Bravo, beaucoup de variations inventives!
-
Marie Oddoux replied to Amelie Kalinine
Ils peuvent être commandés individuellement, sur le site LEGO.com
-
Merci à vous d'être là !

Marie Oddoux replied to Corinne Dupré
Bonjour @CorinneDupré
-
Bonjour @EdgardManuelManriquez , ce cours existe en espagnol, le savez-vous?
-
Marie Oddoux replied to Antje Behrens
It is a great option, yes. That's why you have 3 base plates in the box, so you can use some for storage!
-
Marie Oddoux replied to Jeannette Melendez
When you teach through play, the challenges are more fun for you and your students!
-
Thank you for all your comments!
-
Why not? It is not so easy to attach these very little plate and squares ;)
-
Exactly, and facilitators can invent tones of variations, to facilitate iteration!
-
Marie Oddoux replied to Stephanie Stavers
And it is a great activity to do in inclusion. Sighted children can participate and write words with their VI peers.
-
Marie Oddoux replied to Susan Masters
@SusanMasters, these bricks are magic, in the hands of open-minded and skilled facilitators!
-
Marie Oddoux replied to Susan Masters
They enjoyed doing it!
-
Marie Oddoux replied to Susan Masters
I couldn't agree more!
-
Marie Oddoux replied to Miki Tanae
Yes, we need to have these conversations with the children! That's the point of choosing stories and scenarios for the activities; to stimulate their appetite for literacy, and help them develop concepts. We can go for a walk in a park and look at some trees prior to the activity.
-
Marie Oddoux replied to Stephanie Stavers
Excellent suggestion. You are more than welcome to change the activity and adapt to your students :). The tricky "corner" letter can also be worked with the braille twister (you'll discover it later)...
-
Marie Oddoux replied to Jennifer DeGroot
So do we!
-
Marie Oddoux replied to Alison Hollands
Welcome ;)
-
That's our goal ;)
-
Marie Oddoux replied to Jemma Shepherd
