1. Title of Center/ Activity:   Build a House!

2. Objective: Students practice following directions.

3. Materials required: Craft wooden pieces. (This project can be adapted to any materials available. These pieces were given to me, so I made up this project!

4. Resources: Thanks for the wood, Cheryl!

5. Teacher Directions: Determine a set of directions which will require the student to read, observe, and choose. Paint the wood accordingly.

6. Student Directions:

  1. Use the bigger building.
  2. Connect the blue roof, using the velcro.
  3. Put a small green chimney on the roof, using magnets.
  4. On the front of the house, put the small door with the square doorknob. Put it in the middle. Use a piece of "sticky tack" to keep it in place.
  5. Put a small window on either side of the door. Use the "sticky tack" again.

7. Patterns: not given. Use materials that are available to you. This was a fairly expensive kit in the hobby store.
