Have fun written in Braille

Tic Tac Toe

15 min1 participant

Play with awake and sleeping bricks, to win a game of 3 in a row.

Let's play!

  1. Player 1: Place an “AWAKE - correct reading position” brick in one of the 9 squares

  2. Player 2: Place a “SLEEPING” brick in one of the 9 squares

  3. Both players : Continue playing, until one player WINS by getting 3 bricks in a row (up, down, across, or diagonally)

  4. Both players: If all 9 squares are full, without 3 in a row, the game is over. It is a tie.




How to prepare

  • 1 base plate

  • 10 random bricks

  • 1 bowl

Divide the base plate into 9 squares to create a Tic Tac Toe grid (3x3 squares). Grid can be made using flat or thin LEGO bricks, ropes of playdough, large rubber bands… Place 10 random bricks in the bowl.

Facilitation tips

  • Preliminary exercise: explain the difference between “sleeping” and “awake bricks”

  • Try this activity on a raised paper

  • Explain the concept of directions: up, down, across, diagonally

  • Making a grid that does not merge with the bricks of the game is important so that there is no interference during tactile exploration.

Possible variations

  • Increase the size of the board to 4-by-4 (4 in a row), 5-by-5, or even up to a 20-by-20 grid.

  • Change the size of the squares, and/or base plate

  • Use another kind/shape of LEGO bricks for player 2

    Essa atividade de "Jogo da Velha adaptada" é bem interessante, permitindo que o indivíduo explore o material, percebendo o manuseio correto das peças (sua posição), ampliando assim o repertório de apropriação das características das mesmas (quando for manipular com intuito de leitura propriamente dito), saberá posicioná-las e utilizá-las com eficácia; além também de trabalhar posições (para cima, para baixo, transversal e na diagonal. Pensar estratégias para ganhar, resolver situações, expor suas ideias e tomadas de decisões favorecem o raciocínio lógico, permitindo a sua evolução na tomada de decisões e argumentação. Para crianças menores poderia ir introduzindo essas peculiaridades das peças gradativamente, oferecendo aos jogadores, para um as peças em Braile Bricks, que devem ser posicionadas corretamente, e outro objeto diferenciado (botões, tampas de garrafas), dessa forma, poderiam observar ainda mais detalhadamente as características das peças em Braile.
