Goals

By “making” a sandwich, children turn an everyday activity into a game to learn letters and build vocabulary.

The adult prepares

1 alphabet baseplate

All the letters are sorted alphabetically, with stacks of 2 bricks so that children and adults can quickly get to the right letter.

The children play

The child thinks of the ingredients they want to put in their sandwich.

They search the alphabet baseplate for the first letters of each ingredient…

An illustration of a yellow Lego braille bricks labeled 'B2' with layers in red, blue, gray, and green beneath it, resembling a sandwich. A speech bubble next to it lists the ingredients: 'bread, tomato, cheese, avocado, bread.' The background is beige.

…and assemble the ingredients on top of each other to make a big, tasty sandwich!

What will you use to make your sandwich?
Of course B stands for bread.
Then I’ve actually never done this before,
so I would think I would use egg.
I’ll usually make an egg sandwich,
but today’s one is special.
Then one more thing.
Or you can have plenty more things.
Of course we want an M.
And M, meat starts for
m e t … m e a t.
Yes. Cheese!
I’m glad I’m not lactose intolerant.
So you started with bread?
Yeah.
Egg. Egg.
Meat.
Then cheese and…
… D is a problem.
Yeah. Remove it.
Change it. Yeah. Change it, change it.
We’re not going to need it.
I’m just going to put a little bit of mustard.
Is there another M lying around you?
Just find it here.
Bread, egg.
Then,
meat.
Cheese.
Hot dog.
This is actually disgusting . Meat and
mustard.
It’s actually disgusting. Yummy!
