DS had his 10th birthday party today and he wanted a Lego party. All of his friends are sharp & imaginative so I wanted something that they could use their talents to do.
I used some disposable cups and put about 20-30 Legos in each one. I indiscriminately scooped up handfuls of Legos from DS's Lego bin, not trying to sort out shapes, colors, or sizes. I then made a list of objects to make and each person received a cup of Legos and piece of paper with their "thing" to make. I had things like robot, car, flower, spaceship, toothbrush, etc.... They had about 10 minutes to make thier object then we guessed what each one was. Clues could also be given, as needed.
They loved it! Fifteen 9 & 10 yr old boys were quiet and intent on building their Lego. It was great! LIttle time to put together and very high on the approval meter. Quite some interesting creations, too!
