Devin: I need help making my spaceship.
(Turning toward Lucy C.)
Can you help me?
Lucy C.: Yeah, what colors do you like?
(pointing to the Lego drawer)
Do you like pink, purple or what?
Devin: Red! I found one.
Lucy C: Don't forget to sign your name. Come on Devin, let's go fly them on the structure!
Ila: Can I fly mine?
Blue: Watch out below! It's my turn!
The teachers in the front yard observed a great interest in the Legos and often see connections being made through play here. Social skills are practiced through scaffolding, turn taking, entering play and incorporating new players into the game.
