Daily Idea #182: Lego Fall Challenge

We have recently become obsessed with Legos in our house. I always thought that once you built the Lego set that you had purchased, there was no use for the Lego after that. Not my kids. They have built and taken apart their legos so often that I am surprised the pieces haven’t worn down!

So, for today’s daily idea we are using Legos for a fall building challenge. Each child will get the same amount, sizes, and colors of Legos (20 pieces of varying sizes and mostly orange, brown, black, green, and white). We will have many rounds of 2-5 min each where they are set to a task of building a different shape with their pieces (a pumpkin, a leaf, a ghost, a skeleton, a spider, a monster, a witch’s hat…). Whomever uses the least amount of pieces for their object in each round wins. The caveat is that the rest of the players have to be able to understand and see what the object was that each player was supposed to be creating.
