Mental Blox – Build, Think, and Outsmart the Pattern!

Stack, pattern, and match with Mental Blox, the hands-on logic game that turns colorful blocks into brain-boosting challenges. Students study a card, then re-create the arrangement, solve a pattern puzzle, or follow verbal directions—perfect for centers, small groups, and therapy.

What Makes This Set Special

• Challenge Cards that Grow with You: 20 double-sided activity cards progress from simple builds to tricky spatial and logic tasks.

• Chunky, Kid-Friendly Pieces: 20 durable plastic blocks are easy to grip and built to last.

• Real Visual-Perceptual Work: 4 distinct shapes with varied attributes (e.g., color/pattern/size) create meaningful sorting and discrimination practice.

• Multiple Play Modes: Re-create a hidden arrangement, copy from a front-view model, or listen and build from oral directions.

Skills Students Will Develop

• Visual-Spatial Reasoning & Mental Rotation

• Patterning, Matching, and Categorization

• Working Memory & Following Directions (verbal/visual)

• Problem-Solving & Strategic Thinking

• Language Skills (describing, comparing, positional words)

How to Use

1. Card Copy: Choose a card and build the structure exactly as shown.

2. Hidden Build: One player views the card and gives directions; the builder creates it without seeing the card.

3. Attribute Sort: Sort blocks by shape or by a chosen attribute; explain your rule.

4. Switch & Fix: Partner makes a near-match; student finds and fixes what’s different.

Why You’ll Love It

• Engaging & Screen-Free: Quick setup, high replay value.

• Flexible for Mixed Groups: Scale difficulty by card choice or by switching to verbal-only cues.

• Therapy & Classroom Friendly: Great for SLP (describing/positional terms), OT (fine-motor/visual-motor), and teachers (STEM centers).
