DIY Party Activities & Games Using LEGO® Bricks
Any great party has games and activities and if you need a little inspiration for an upcoming kids’ birthday party, here are some ideas to get you started.
1. Build the Tallest Tower
Challenge party guests to build the tallest freestanding tower within a time limit. Provide a pile of LEGO® bricks and let their creativity (and engineering skills) shine. The tallest, most stable tower wins a prize!
2. LEGO® Bricks Man (or Minifigure) Design Challenge
Give each child a handful of LEGO® pieces and challenge them to build their own unique minifigure or character. They can mix and match heads, torsos, and accessories to create funny, superhero, or wacky designs. You can even have a mini fashion show or vote on the most creative character!
3. LEGO® Bricks Relay Race
Divide the kids into teams and set up a relay-style race. Each team member must carry a LEGO® brick on a spoon (or balance it on their head) and race to drop it into a container before tagging the next player. The first team to successfully transport all their bricks wins!
4. LEGO® Bricks Treasure Hunt
Hide small LEGO® pieces or minifigures around the party area and give kids a list of what to find. You can even create a mystery puzzle where they must find enough hidden pieces to build a small LEGO® creation, like a car or a house.
5. Pin the Head on the LEGO® Briocks Minifigure
A twist on the classic party game! Draw or print out a large LEGO® minifigure without a head. Blindfold the kids, spin them around, and let them try to stick a cutout LEGO® head in the right spot. The closest placement wins!
