Guest Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Hi all! We've just made an adjustment to our Construction area so that the children can build off the wall as well as on the floor. Problem is that we had to remove things that were previously stuck to the wall. We've found some pictures to cover marks left behind, but I'm looking for some construction related words to display and my mind is drawing a blank. Any ideas would be great! So far I've got: Construct Assemble Create Build Stack Connect Make Bricks Blocks Any more ideas, anyone? Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 What about words relating to size and shape......tall, taller, square, cube - I won't go on - sure you get my drift! :1b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Thanks! This is what happens when you try and do work stuff straight after work! Finding it a bit difficult actually. I've been a pre-schooler for almost 4 years and about a month ago I transferred to the young toddler room (just walking to 18mnths approximately) so it's a massive change and trying to adjust to the difference in their abilities is quite a challenge!

Guest Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 How about 'words/labels/' associated with Bob the Builder ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 If these children are toddlers then maybe images of different construction activities would be more appropriate like from a building site. Or prehaps you could use photos of their actual constructions, I'm not a great fan of just putting random words on the walls, to me they appear a bit out of context, I prefer images that can spark a conversation and build vocabulary that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sn0wdr0p Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 How about signs such as Hard Hat Area. Speech bubbles with questions "How high can you build a tower" I think the most used prase of one of my four years olds is "alright mate" when he plays 'building sites'. We have sounds such as BANG, CRASH around as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Thank you Sue, I've just downloaded some of those, double mounted them and wrote a simple word on the mounting i.e. hat, hammer etc. then laminated them to go in our construction corner I'm getting some good idea's from this forum so thank you once again.
