LEGO Challenges

LEGOS are a great way to use your imagination and create prototypes and designs of things you can dream up! 

In my classes, I put out a challenge card next to a bin of assorted LEGOS. If you have multiple kids (parents can play too) in your house, put out several piles of LEGOS and a different card/challenge for each. Give them 10 minutes to begin building their challenge. Set a kitchen timer and work fast. When the timer goes off, everyone rotates one spot and begins working on the challenge someone else was doing. You can't take apart any of what's built-- you have to add on! Keep going until everyone is back to their original project.
