WELCOME TO….
THE LEGO FACTORY!!!
Players 2-3.
Ages 5+
Naming rights are Copyrighted to - Arradreaming’s son 2023.
Warning - Do not play when your patience is already thin at one another.
The kids have to be ok with pulling apart what they have made in previous rounds as it is unlikely you are running a literal LEGO factory from your house.
Teaches: communication, fine motor skills, patience, team work, empathy
Each player takes a role, these are
Builder
Picture Holder (Brickman)
Supplier (You can play without)
The game:
We have a bunch of printed pictures of stuff we have made (car, bird etc) super super basic stuff or even pictures off google.
And one person picks the picture from the pile (Brickman) and has to explain to the Builder which peices they have to use and where they have to go to make the build eg “put a white square on the blue rectangle” until either the timer is up or the build is complete. The timer is completely optional, use your discretion with this one.
The Brickman is not allowed to touch the peices, or physically guide the Builder in one what to do.
You can add a third person in and they are the “supplier” but you can play without them, this works because the picture holder aka Brickman explains to the Supplier what is needed then the builder makes it under the brickman’s direction (as per directions above), the supplier is just a third party. Eg Brickman might say, “supplier I need a yellow square” they then search for the yellow square and hand it to the Brickman.
Rotate all roles.
—————
It is a great test for kids to learn about communicating and how important giving clear directions is. But also if you rotate around the different roles it helps develop kids empathy because they realise how hard it is trying to put something together with minimal direction and vice versa, watching someone try to put something together and having to learn to step back and let them try it etc.
Great for our 6yo in that sense.
