Build a Bridge

Builders learn by trying ideas, noticing what happens, and changing their designs.

Keep it simple

What you need

  • Blocks, paper, or recycled boxes
  • A small toy
  • Two books to make a gap

Play and explore

Try it together

  1. 1 Place two books apart and ask how a toy could cross the gap.
  2. 2 Choose materials and predict which design might stay strong.
  3. 3 Build the bridge and test it with the toy.
  4. 4 Notice what worked, change one part, and test the bridge again.

Follow the child’s thinking

Talk about it

  • What do you predict will happen?
  • What did you notice during the test?
  • What could you change to make the bridge stronger?
