Use two hollow blocks and a long plank to create an example of a bridge. Ask the children, “Have you ever walked or driven over a bridge?” Ask, “Why do we need bridges?” Read Cross a Bridge by Ryan Ann Hunter to learn about different kinds of bridges and how they are built and used. Explore building bridges in centers. This could be done in large group.
