Prior to the Industrial Revolution,
most bricks in the world were made by hand.
More than 1.5 trillion bricks
are produced worldwide each
year.
Did you hear the
joke about the fallen brick?
It was off the wall.
Why don’t you get texts from concrete bricks?
They’re blocked.
What do you call a volunteer bricklayer?
A freemason.
Where does a bricklayer put fireflies?
In her mason jar.
Many of the world’s more
famous buildings are made of or partially
made of brick, including the Colosseum in Rome,
the Aztec Pyramid of the Sun and the Great Wall
of China.
The Romans used mobile kilns, and spread the art of brickmaking throughout
Europe.
Most brick structures are built by hand by craftspersons
called “masons.”
Many of the world’s cities,
including New York and London, were rebuilt
using bricks after being destroyed
by fire.The color of a brick
is caused by several factors, such as the chemical content and
firing temperature. Iron causes a red color, while lime will create a more
beige-colored brick. High firing temperatures create darker-
colored bricks.
I’m the Brickest of
Bricks.
This cartoon seems to be building up
to something.
Can you spot six differences between these two scenes?
GAME ANSWERS: 1. Lips are missing. 2. Nose is smaller. 3. Kiln is shorter. 4. Mouth is different. 5. Arch is different. 6. Wheels are missing.
