Stackers

Here is another one of our new math games called "stackers". One person is the "director" and has a picture of a tower that they look at behind a folder so that their partner can't see the picture. The other person is the "stacker" and must follow the "directors" directions to build a tower that matches the one in the picture. The "stacker" has a board that has "left, right, back and front" labeled on it. They use this board to build their tower and the "director" will say for example, "Put a red cube in the middle of the board" then they will check to see if their partner did it correctly, then they will say "Put a blue cube on top of the red cube" "Put a yellow cube on top of the blue cube, put a green bear in front of the tower" etc, etc. We practice using positional words to give our partner good directions as to where they should be stacking.
