Six Bricks Method: Hands-On Educator Workshops
Transform your classroom with the Six Bricks method. I teach you how to use simple, colorful blocks to build cognitive skills, creativity, and problem-solving in young learners.
An expert from SundayBricks explains the "What is Six Bricks?" concept to our group of educators. My workshops often feature guest specialists to provide deep, authoritative knowledge on innovative play-based methodologies.
This video montage captures the dynamic and fun atmosphere of our Six Bricks teacher training. You can see educators laughing, collaborating, and building, fully experiencing the power of learning through play for themselves.
Collaboration is key in my workshops. Here, educators work together at a table, using LEGO blocks to build towers, an activity designed to teach concepts of balance, patterns, and teamwork.

This image shows a creative challenge from the workshop: "What animal is this?". Educators use the six bricks to create representations, an exercise that fosters creative thinking and problem-solving skills.

About this collection
You will not be sitting in rows listening to dry lectures here. We sit on floor mats with LEGO sets, working through the same challenges you will eventually present to your students. It is a messy, collaborative process designed to give you the exact blueprint to take back to your classroom the very next day.
Why Six Bricks Works
The Six Bricks methodology, developed by the LEGO Foundation, is powerful because it uses simple, familiar tools to unlock complex learning. During our workshop, we move beyond just playing with blocks to understand the 'why' behind every activity.
We focus on:
- Cognitive Development: Using blocks to teach subitizing, pattern recognition, and spatial awareness.
- Social-Emotional Growth: Facilitating communication and teamwork exercises where educators learn how to guide children toward collaborative play.
- Creative Thinking: Using bricks to represent abstract ideas, storytelling, and problem-solving.
What You Take Away
This training is built for educators who want to move past rote memorization. Whether you are teaching early numeracy or trying to manage classroom transitions, these sessions provide the tools you need. You will walk away with practical lesson ideas, concept summaries, and the confidence to guide your students through playful, effective learning.
Who This Is For
These sessions are perfect for preschool teachers, student educators, and school administrators looking to introduce a research-backed, play-based curriculum. We keep groups small to ensure everyone gets hands-on practice, mentorship, and time to ask questions about specific classroom challenges. If you are ready to make your teaching more dynamic and less lecture-heavy, you will fit right into our community.
Knowledge Origin
I started this journey because I believe children learn best when they are active. My workshops are not about rigid teaching methods, they are about helping educators like you rediscover the joy of teaching through hands-on activities that actually get results.
