Depending on the amount of time I have - I sometimes begin by reading the book 'Pezzettino' by Leo Lionni first.
I group students into groups of 2-3 and give them each a mini white board and a tupperware container full of wooden pattern blocks (to which I've attached magnets).

This is a GREAT full-day activity or activity for students who finish up early!
I had one kindergarten friend who spent literally 20 minutes trying to find out all the different ways he could combine shapes to make hexagons. It was awesomeness.
I remember loving to play with these as a kid - turns out they are still just as awesome! :)
My kindergartens love the pattern blocks and I've been looking for an extension. This is wonderful! Thank you for sharing!!
