Pattern Block Barrier Game

Challenge your learners to give clear and concise directions in this shape-name practice activity. In partners, they place a dividing "wall" between them, with pattern blocks and a grid on each side. Partner A places one block at a time on his grid, directing Partner B with only words where to place it. They need to use shape names, colors, positional language, and their grid to adequately help their partner. After removing the divider, they can see how close them came and swap roles.
