Task Card Examples
Printable block center task cards with challenge levels (Ready, Stretch, Challenge) and a free-build option, so every child has a way in.
Task Card Examples
These block center task cards show what a center can look like when students know what to do without needing an adult. That makes centers more self-sufficient and frees you to work with small groups.
Each card is marked with dots for its challenge level (Ready, Stretch, or Challenge), and free play is always an option. Tasks include stacking and counting, copying a pattern, building a tower as tall as you, building a bridge a car can drive under, and seeing how tall you can build with only 10 blocks.
How to Use
- Print, cut on the dashed lines, and laminate for durability
- Display at the block center alongside the materials
- Let students choose their own challenge level
- Rotate cards to keep the center fresh
