Game: Lego-tionary

by Jaclyn Gronbach
Type/Purpose: Artistic, Community Builder

This is a spin-off of Pictionary with Legos. Have a bucket of Legos and cards with different items written on them. Split into teams. One person from the team draws a card and has 1-2 minutes (depending on how easy or hard you want to make it) to build the item written on the card with Legos. Their team has to guess before time runs out or the other team gets to take a guess. The team that guesses correctly the most Lego creations wins!
