LEGO\u00a0Party Games<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The 9 year old boys had such a blast at the party that I thought I’d post the games, we could have played each of them for so much longer.<\/p>\n

Design your own LEGO<\/strong>\u00ae man: <\/strong>I had this activity for kids who were early and\u00a0while waiting for some who were late. \u00a0See below to get a full size version. \u00a0I just put them on the floor with a tub of pencils.<\/p>\n

Pass the brick<\/strong>:<\/em> a small LEGO set wrapped up to look like a LEGO brick (just use bright paper and draw the circles on top). \u00a0Pass it around, when the music stops if you’re holding it you are out. \u00a0Last one in wins. \u00a0This was much better than pass the parcel for this age. As each kid gets out give them a lolly or prize.<\/p>\n

LEGO Bingo:<\/strong> Bingo using single lego bricks to cover items. \u00a0I made my own bingo boards. \u00a0See below to download 24 different bingo boards, design your own lego man page and lego certificate.<\/p>\n

LEGO chocolate game<\/strong>: just like the ordinary chocolate game using a lego dice. \u00a0For the uninitiated – get 3 dress up items, a lego dice, a fork for each child, a knife and a block of chocolate on a plate. \u00a0For dress ups we used a pair of fake ‘LEGO man’ glasses, a ‘LEGO’ fire-mans helmet and ‘LEGO’ Indiana Jones satchel bag. \u00a0Each person takes a turn rolling the dice. \u00a0When they roll the multi-coloured side it is their turn – they put on all the dress ups and using the knife and fork they quickly cut and eat one piece of chocolate at a time until someone else rolls a multi. \u00a0This continues at a frantic pace until the block is gone. \u00a0(Note if you have a kids with allergies or who do not like chocolate – a rare breed – they can still play. \u00a0On their turn they can feed it to whomever they choose – and get a replacement lolly or sticker for each square they give away).<\/p>\n

Treasure Hunt:<\/strong> Hide gold coins around the garden and get the kids to search for them. \u00a0As they find them they run back to you and put them in the ‘LEGO vending machine’. \u00a0The machine is just a decorated shoe box with a coin slot. If you put a glass jar inside it makes a nice noise when the coin drops in. Inside the back of the box you can hide your prizes, as the kids put a coin in the slot send down some stickers, a small lolly or a lolly pop. \u00a0They can only bring one coin at a time, this helps control it so that one kid does not get all the lollies, which is what usually happens in treasure hunts.<\/p>\n

Tallest Tower: <\/strong>We sorted our LEGO into colours and set it out on the bench in bright trays. \u00a0(I kept all the specialty pieces and mini figures away upstairs). For this game put a timer on and explain to the kids whoever has the tallest tower when the timer goes off wins. \u00a0Give a certificate for the most spectacular crash, creative tower, tallest tower…<\/p>\n

Strongest Bridge: <\/strong>The kids loved this game and wanted to rebuild but we were running out of time so had to move on. \u00a0Set up something for your bridges to go over. \u00a0I used a sawhorse at maximum width. \u00a0Give the kids a set amount of time to build the strongest bridge. \u00a0Then line up and test them. \u00a0I bent some thick wire into a horseshoe shape with hooks at both ends. \u00a0Placed this over the bridge and added weight 250g (8.82 ounces) at a time. \u00a0You can you ziplock bags filled with rice, soft wrist weights or anything which will not damage your floor when in falls. \u00a0Amazingly the strongest one held 5kg (11.02 pounds) so make sure you have enough weight on hand.<\/p>\n

\"lego<\/p>\n

Creative Cars: <\/strong>Everyone was given a bag with some basic car parts, there was a container of wheels on the table and they could use any of the bricks from the middle. \u00a0The cheapest way to get wheels, windscreens and steering wheels was through bricklink.com where hundreds of suppliers sell LEGO by the brick. \u00a0Check the postage on overseas ones first to make sure they are reasonable.<\/p>\n

Car Race<\/strong>: <\/strong>After some food we then went outside and raced the cars on the driveway. \u00a0We raced three at a time and then did a final with the winners. There was an award for the fastest and the one that went the furtherest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pinyata: <\/strong>We finished off the party with a pinyata.<\/p>\n

LEGO Party Prizes:<\/strong><\/strong><\/h1>\n

For prizes, LEGO itself was too expensive so I bought a <\/span><\/strong>DK star wars lego sticker book<\/a>\"\"
\nand cut up the stickers from the back of the book and put bundles of them in little packets with a lolly. You can also get a LEGO City Sticker Book<\/a>\"\" depending what your LEGO fan likes the most.

\"legoFor each building game we had several winners. \u00a0I used an old Myers LEGO master builders certificate, I erased the writing on it in photoshop, cleaned it up and then added my own text by hand such as ‘most impressive crash,’ tallest tower’, ‘most colourful bridge’, ‘fastest car’, ‘architectural design award’… \u00a0each winner received a certificate and a bag with stickers and a lolly. \u00a0See link further up to download bundle with certificate.<\/p>\n

LEGO Party Food:\u00a0<\/strong><\/h1>\n

We had normal party food plus a few themed items such as lego man biscuits, a ninjago cake and LEGO head cheese and crackers.<\/span><\/p>\n
