Imagine you and your friends are moving giant toy blocks to build a cool castle, that’s what people did to build Stonehenge!
People used big rocks, called megaliths, to make Stonehenge. These rocks were so big, like the biggest bricks you’ve ever seen! But how did they move them?
How They Moved the Rocks
They probably used ropes and teamwork, just like when you pull a toy car with your friends. If everyone pulls together, even a super-heavy rock can be moved!
Also, they might have used wheels or logs, like rolling sticks under the rock to make it easier to push. It's like how you roll a big ball across the floor, it moves much faster and easier!
Building the Circle
Once all the rocks were where they needed to be, people put them up in a special pattern, like arranging chairs around a circle for a game of tag. That’s how Stonehenge was built, one rock at a time, with lots of help from many people!
Examples
