lego party games

July 13, 2022 //  by Stefanie Ady

Building with Lego is a classic way to spend time together as a family. It is also one of the best STEM skill learning tools that doubles as a classic toy. Lego movies, blocks, action figures, and large-scale models provide endless entertainment on regular days.

Another great use for the pile of Legos in the toy bin is using them as an entire birthday party theme! Read on for Lego party game ideas that will keep party guests busy and having fun!

1. Lego Guessing Game

This simple challenge is a guessing game sometimes played with candy during holiday parties. Fill a big jar with some Lego mini-bricks, and have guests guess how many there are as they arrive for the party. The person closest to the correct number of colored bricks wins the game!

Set a timer for a 5-minute challenge and give each party-goer their own inexpensive bag containing a mini-figure. They should try to construct their little Lego guy within the time limit. Make it even more fun by playing a song instead of setting a timer. When the song is over, time is up!

8. Life-size Lego Tower Game

Build even bigger with life-sized Lego bricks! The tower game idea would be even more of an engineering contest if the bricks were large and could be built up to child height! Make colorful bricks with shoe boxes and shipping boxes by adding the dots on top. Birthday party games are always more entertaining when challenges get bigger!

9. Create Your Own Lego Mini-figure

Another popular game choice is to create your own caricature mini-figure. Little kids will love using mixed media to draw, scribble, and color in their idea of themselves as a Lego character! Get out the markers, crayons, paints, and stickers and let party guests get as creative as possible with their art. Have the adults judge whose art looks most like them! Having a top 3 with prizes would be exciting.

10. Lego Ring Toss Game

Make a basic ring toss game to a different level by using Lego pieces to build the sticks.

An added learning bonus is that kids will build their own board so they decide how challenging their ring toss will be!

11. Lego Color Sorting Game

Fun for family game night or for a child's Lego-themed party game, sorting colorful bricks by color for a certain amount of time is the perfect game to bring some laughter to the party. Make the chopsticks out of flat, skinny Lego, or use some real chopsticks! Use paper plates to sort by color until the song ends, or the timer runs out. As a modification, use a stopwatch and see how long each team takes to sort their supply!
