Inside: Discover 5 easy and fun LEGO games for kids your whole family will love!

In our living room, we transformed one of our coffee tables into a fun LEGO table that stores bricks and figures to make it easy for the kids to access them anytime they want.

My eldest son loves to build spaceships and castles, and his little brother is joining him more and more as he grows up.

To make building time more fun, we sometimes try building challenges, and we enjoy coming up with new LEGO creations together.

Playing with LEGOs is such a simple and lovely way to connect with the kids, so I decided to use the bricks to prepare a few games for us to play together!

And it turned out to be a great idea because not only did the kids love the games, but my husband and I really enjoyed playing them as well!

This is why I decided to share them with you, and I hope your family will enjoy them as much as we did!

5 easy and fun LEGO games for kids (that you will enjoy as well)

If you want to play some easy and fun new games with your kids and you have some LEGO bricks at hand, I encourage you to try these ideas!

You can quickly prepare them and they are great for connecting with your kids and having fun together!

LEGO game #1: LEGO tower game

You will need:

• LEGO bricks (I filled a small box with LEGO bricks that were the same size)

• a dice (we also added a “legend” to make it easier for my son to understand the rules)

• (optional) one LEGO figure for every player (we used them to add more fun to the game by “personalizing” our towers)

⭐ How to play:

• Prepare a small box of LEGO bricks for the game. Each player starts by placing a LEGO figure on a brick.

• Players take turns rolling the dice two times. The first time, the number on the dice determines if the player adds or removes bricks. Numbers 1 to 4  mean adding bricks, numbers 5 and 6 mean removing bricks. The second time, the number on the dice determines how many bricks will be added or removed (based on the result of the first roll).

• If the player needs to remove more bricks than they have, they will only remove the bricks they have. At the end of the game, if a player needs to add a number of bricks that is bigger than the number of bricks left in the box, they will only add the bricks that are available in the box.

• The game ends when the box is empty. The winner is the player who has the tallest tower at the end of the game.

LEGO game #2: Memory game with bricks

You will need:

• LEGO bricks (we used the same box of bricks we used for the dice game)

• two empty egg cartons

• a kitchen towel (or something similar to use to cover the egg carton during the game).

⭐ How to play:

• Place a small box of bricks on the table and give each player one empty egg carton.

• The first player fills in their egg carton using bricks of different colors. (fill in 4-5 holes for young kids, 6-10 holes for older kids).

• Give the other players some time to look at the bricks and try to remember how they are placed. Then, cover the egg carton with the kitchen towel.

• The other players need to recreate the configuration they saw. Then, remove the towel and check if the bricks are placed correctly. Each player with the right configuration gets one point, then the game moves on to the next player.

• The winner is the player who first gets to 5 points.

LEGO game #3: Homemade bowling game

You will need:

• LEGO bricks

• small ball

• (optional) painter’s tape

⭐ How to play:

• To prepare this activity, invite the kids to create 8 bowling pins out of LEGO bricks.

• Place the bowling pins on the floor. Mark a line on the floor using painter’s tape and invite the kids to roll the ball front behind the line and try to knock off the pins.

• In each round, every player gets 2 throws to try to knock off all the pins and collect points. The winner is the player with the biggest score after 10 rounds. (For older kids, you can make the activity more challenging by assigning different points to each pin. You can write the number of points on each pin using a washable marker.)

LEGO game #4: Tic Tac Toe

We enjoy playing pen and paper games together, so I enjoyed the idea of creating a tic tac toe game out of LEGOs.

To prepare this game you will need:

• a LEGO baseplate

• LEGO bricks for building the frame for the game

• 5 small LEGO bricks for each player to use (choose a different brick color for each player)

After building the frame, use the small bricks to play the game over and over again!

LEGO game #5: Outdoor color hunt with LEGO bricks

This game is great for motivating kids to go outside and an easy way to make family walks more fun!

You will need:

• small LEGO bricks of different colors (we used approx. 50 bricks for 3 players)

• a small transparent bag or container for holding the bricks during the walk (we used a ziplock bag)

⭐ How to play:

• During the family walk, invite all players to search for objects that are the same color as the LEGO bricks in your bag.

• When a player finds an item, they get a LEGO brick of that color. (e.g., if a player finds a yellow flower, they get a yellow brick)

• Each player builds a tower from the bricks they get by finding objects of different colors. The transparent bag makes it easy for the players to see what bricks are left in the bag to know what colors to look for.

• The game ends when there are no more bricks left in the bag or when the walk ends. The winner is the player with the tallest tower of bricks.

You can even make a small “trophy” out of bricks to offer to the winner when you get home. 😊

More LEGO games for kids

If you liked these ideas, here are some more LEGO games you can try with your kids:

• Tallest tower challenge: Set the timer for 3 minutes and see who can build the tallest tower out of bricks during this time.

• Spoon race across the room: Place a box full of LEGOs on one side of the room and an empty box on the other side. Player take turns using a spoon to transport bricks across the room as soon as possible. The winner is the player who manages to place the most bricks in the box in 2 minutes.

• LEGO scavenger hunt: Hide 20 LEGO bricks and figures around the house and invite the kids to find them. To make the game more fun, you can set a timer and challenge the kids to find as many bricks as they can before the time ends.

• Cover the baseplate challenge: For this game you will need a baseplate for each player and a box of bricks. The players compete to see who can cover their entire baseplate with bricks.

Enjoy and have fun!
