LEGO PARTY… games

I found so many great Lego Party game ideas, the web is truly an awesome resource.  We were looking for something specific for our games.  There were about 10 kids that would participate with ages ranging from 1-11.  I really want ALL of the kids to be able to play.

Lego Party Relay

what you need:  4 buckets (or bowls) ~ 2 cups ~ Lego’s ~ space

I placed two empty buckets on one end of the relay and two buckets (full of Lego’s) near the crowd of kids.  I divided the kids (as evenly as  possible) into two teams.  The rules?  Take turns filling your teams empty bucket!

Everyone cheered for their team!
 Even some of the Moms got in on the action!

This game was a HUGE success and the kids (of all ages) had a blast!

Lego Party Sculpture

what you need:  Lego’s ~ a little imagination

I had the kids sit in a circle and placed a handful of Lego’s in front of each kid.  (The little kids were involved but we kept a very close eye on their hands…and months!

Big M started a structure and then passed it to the kid next to him.  She added a few pieces (smart girl that she is, she decided 6 since it was Big M’s 6th birthday!).

The structure was passed until everyone had added some pieces. (I think it went around twice.)  The kids had a great time, and the abstract structure was so neat.

Lego Party Bomb

what you need:  Lego Bomb ~ music

When I told Big M about the games I had planned he said “I HAVE A GREAT IDEA FOR A GAME!!!”  And yes it was just that loud and enthusiastic.  (Secretly I was really hoping it would be good…with the much excitement I was going to have to make it work no matter what!)  Luckily it was a great idea and the kids loved it!

We didn’t get any pictures of the game =(.  You can see Big M’s homemade Lego Bomb there in the back.

The game was simply pass the bomb around while the music plays.  The person holding the bomb when the music stops explodes and leaves the game.

I was very happy with all of the games…and they took very little prep work (or money)!  Once the games were over, I handed out the Lego Pendants.
