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 oldest spends hours designing spaceships and castles, while his little brother watches, eager to join in.

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!

LEGO game #1: LEGO tower game

What you need:

• A small box of bricks (all the same size)
• A six-sided die
• (optional) One mini figure per player

How to play:

• Each player places their mini figure on a single brick as a starting point.
• Players take turns rolling the die twice per turn:
  • First roll: Determines the action: 1-4 means adding bricks, 5-6 means removing bricks.
  • Second roll: Determines the number of bricks to add or remove.
• If a player is required to remove more bricks than they have, they remove all available bricks.
• If a player needs to add more bricks than what’s left in the box, they can only take what remains.
• The game ends when the box is empty. The player with the tallest tower wins.

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!
