Blind date with Lego



If you are looking for a quick, really fun and still highly developmental game, look no further!

This is a game where kids have to recreate lego builds without actually seeing their lego pieces.

The Lego pieces hid in a cardboard box. We turned a cardboard box to its side, so the open top looked to the side and stays open. On the opposite side (which used to be the bottom of the box) we cut two holes for his hands.



We collected a few lego pieces, of which we had two each. Best to chose bricks, which are all different shape, size from each other.



One set of bricks went to the box, from the other set I have created the 'task'. So little Bear got my Lego build and then he put his hands into the box through the holes and had to build exactly the same, completely 'blind'.

Maybe for the first time it is best to use 3-4 bricks, but once your little Bear has practiced, you can do more complicated buildups.


Comparing the first task and the result...


He had soooo much fun. Not just replicating the Lego builds, but also preparing new tasks for me and had a laugh watching from the other side. You can swap setting the tasks or siblings can play with each other.


It was actually quite amazing to watch live the little hands sensing, experiencing by touching the lego figures, dots for information, like a Braille writing...





The possibilities to improve or to make this game harder is never ending.

You can use more bricks or you can use the standard lego instead of Duplo. If you have a smaller set of Lego, you can choose to build the whole set as a task, looking at the instruction leaflet as the task. Of course in this case there are pieces which have the same shape, but different colour, so maybe the final build will not look exactly as on the picture, but the fun factor is equally there!
