Lyfta Time #72: Wei Wei in China
We'll meet Wei Wei, who helps develop childrens' creativity by playing with LEGO.
Teacher notes
This lesson introduces Wei Wei (pronounced 'Way-Way') who helped 2,000 children create a giant mandala out of LEGO bricks in Shanghai, China. This mini-lesson can be delivered either from the front of the classroom using a central computer and screen, or for students who have access to their own computers or devices. Like ALL Lyfta storyworlds, these characters are unique. We don't share stories as being 'typical' or as 'single stories' of people or places. **Please note:** If this is your first Lyfta lesson, please see these specially designed introductory lesson plans first, which introduce the Quest Tracker and how Lyfta works: Option 1: '#1 Lyfta Time: Rob in Cornwall' is a 20 minute introduction exploring one storyworld Option 2: ‘How to use Lyfta’ is a 45 minute lesson exploring multiple storyworlds.
