Twin Sculpture

15 min1 participant

Develop tactile exploration technique and location of bricks, to recreate an identical flat sculpture

Let's play!

  1. Find the sculpture created on one of the base plates

  2. Take your time to explore it

  3. Make a twin sculpture on the other base plate.

How to prepare

  • 8 equal sign bricks (“=”)

  • 2 base plates

  • 1 bowl

Create a flat 4-brick sculpture on one base plate. Place the other 4 bricks in a bowl.

Facilitation tips

  • Allow adequate time for trial and error method to create proper reproduction on the base plate.

  • Suggest removal and relocation of sculpture, if it doesn’t fit on the base plate.

Possible variations

  • Change the number of bricks, or sculptures.

  • Create 3D sculptures.

  • Peer play: one player creates, the other, reproduces the sculpture.

    Essa atividade exige observar a quantidade de peças utilizadas para a montagem da escultura, suas características que devem ser copiadas fielmente. Ao invés de ser oferecidas as peças iguais para a nova montagem, deve-se permitir que o jogador possa contar as peças utilizadas na escultura modelo, separar o número de peças e com as mesmas peculiaridades (cores, letra em braile), dessa forma, antes de montar a cópia, precisa se organizar, planejar e reunir todos os recursos necessários para a execução eficiente. Depois de montado e conferido o resultado, o jogador desafiado, poderia mudar alguma peça, para que o outro possa analisar e encontrar onde está o erro (semelhante ao jogo "7 erros), servindo como um rico subsídio de comparação e observação.
