Blocks Rock! A STEM Toy and Educational Game for Competitive Structured Block Play, Ages 4+

Description

Blocks Rock is the competitive, educational race in which two players, or two teams of players, compete to build a color and shape-specific structure in the shortest amount of time. The game is played by choosing a card with a structure to copy, building the structure out of colored blocks, and ringing the bell to end the round. Accuracy is key, and a player only wins the round when the structure is completed successfully. At the end of the deck, the winner of the game is the player with the most cards or with the most points as indicated on each card. Researchers at Indiana University’s School of Psychology & Brain Sciences studied the impact of structured block building and board game on spatial processing. Using MRI scans, Blocks Rock, and Scrabble, researchers concluded that Blocks Rock has a significant impact on mental rotation performance, as shown in the brain scans.
