pick 2 blocks at random and add together the totals on their faces, using the dots to count.pick 2 blocks at random and put them next to each other to become and double digit number and read it.use them to find matching number bonds to make 10 and then 20.build them horizontally and use them as a number line to count along with a counting stick, prop or finger.count them into blocks of 5 and then 10 and use to count in 5s or 10s (make more to reach 100).More games that can be played with the numbered lego blocks: She wanted to measure Pop but found she didn’t have nearly enough Lego blocks, so settled for seeing how long her arm was instead and decided to find more blocks later to make a much bigger measuring device! This fun game is perfect for playing in pairs and it is fabulous for developing thinking, communication and co-operation skills.
