I’m excited. Yeah, yeah you’re right I’ve been excited a lot lately with the Summer Reading Series, the Camp Mom Summer Activities Pack and now this incredibly awesome (if I do say so myself) Lego Game. You should see me in person I’m a crazy ball of excitement.
Lego Game & Game Board
I knew I needed to do something fun with our Legos. Pinterest is crawling with great Lego ideas and I want to join in! Sure we did the Lego Party but that was a long time ago. So Big M and I sat down to create our own Lego board game.
Creating it was so much fun! We played a couple of times, changing the wording (and the rules) until it was just right. What we ended up with is a game that M, M and I have a blast playing together. Want to know how you can join the fun? Just print out the game board and I’ll tell you how to play!
GAME BOARD: Left side of board Right side of board
DIRECTIONS: Lego Game Directions
I had Hubby make the game board pretty plain. That way you don’t have to use a lot of ink to print it. It might be fun to have the kids add a little color.
Lego Game Directions
1. Pick a person. Mini Figures will stand better if you put them on a Lego brick.
2. Have a Lego pile near by. I found that filling a bowl with Legos was easier than using our big Lego box.
3. Everyone takes 20 Legos to start.
4. Put another 20 Legos in the ‘Pond’.
5. Choose a player to go first.
6. The first player rolls the die and moves that amount of spaces.
7. Follow the directions on the square that you land on.
8. When the first player has finished pass the die to the left.
9. Continue play until you reach the finish line.
I left finishing the game open-ended. I’ll suggest a few possible endings but do what works for your family. Get creative and have fun with it.
- Count your Legos. Then talk about who has the most, the least, does anyone have the same? (See what I did there? Added in a little math and took out the “winner”.)
- Set a timer for 3 minutes and see what you can build using only the Legos in your pile.
- Build. Trade pieces grab from the pile. If your kids are like mine they already have something started anyway.
- Have the players work together to build something using all the Legos.
I did my best to make these directions clear, but you may find you have a question. If so, make up a house rule OR leave me a comment. I’ll be happy to clear up any confusion… or as it might be in our house any game debates!
If you love this game as much as we do pass it on! Pin it, Facebook Share it, G+ it…

May 13, 2013 at 6:26 amThis looks like so much fun! My kids and I are eager to try it out 🙂
One quick comment: it looks like both the left and the right pdf documents are the same image? Am I missing something? Thanks!
Best wishes,
Kara

Danae says
May 14, 2013 at 11:53 amFirst, thank you so much for creating this! It looks awesome….but I have a problem similar to the ones above. I cannot print the right side of the board at all. Adobe keeps telling me there is a problem with the file and it cannot be repaired. Left side was no problem, directions were fine…right side NO GO! Please help…we have a crate of Legos and I’d like to do more than build cars with them! Thank you again for all your time and effort and for sharing this.
Jillian says
May 14, 2013 at 7:06 pmI emailed you Danae. 🙂
laura says

May 16, 2013 at 6:45 amThank you! We used to have a LEGO game that I downloaded from somewhere, but it got destroyed by my 4 year old (we call him el-destructo sometimes!) So thank you for placing your web address on this board (in case that happens again I know where to find it!) I also wanted to let you know I had no problems printing!
I’m planning a little LEGO ‘camp’ with my son and 2 other boys this summer and this will be a perfect activity!
Thank you again!
Jillian says
May 17, 2013 at 5:53 amHow fun! I would love to do a Lego camp. I’m glad the web address is helpful. 🙂

Andrea says
March 2, 2014 at 12:14 pmHi.
I’ve found your website via pinterest. I love the Lego game, but the link just opens to a blank page. Can you email the board to me, please?? Thx 🙂
Kim Wriedt says
April 30, 2014 at 11:09 amMy screen is blank as well when I open the game boards. Will you please email them to me? Thank you!!
Emma Mills says
May 1, 2014 at 8:47 amHi
I love you game idea. I’m going to make it a bit more age appropriate for my 6 & 9 year old by switching the ‘adding’ for fractions. So instead of counting I might have ‘take away 1/4 of your Legos!’ I think this could be altered for all ages. It’s great!x
Jillian says
May 1, 2014 at 10:24 amI love the idea of switching to fractions! Really you could edit to any skill they are learning. I love the way you think. 😉
Beth Finkbeiner says
June 1, 2014 at 6:47 amLove this idea for my special education classroom!! Please e-mail the link to this LEGO board game.

November 1, 2014 at 11:36 amHi, we just had a brilliant 4 hours playing this with our boys who can barely manage any games or turn taking or winning or losing due to their special needs. This was perfect, we didn’t have any problems downloading or playing. Thank you so much for sharing.
Julie Szerenyi says
June 30, 2015 at 4:54 pmcan you email me the board PLEASE 🙂
Elva Roberts says
December 12, 2015 at 7:04 pmI really like this Lego game and your other printables. Since almost every young boys have legos, I think they would have great fun with this game and the lego printables. Thank you so much for these items.
Emmeri says
November 25, 2018 at 10:43 pmThank you for this game. I played it with my 3 year old son and 4.5 year old daughter. It was great and my son played through the whole game, which at times can be difficult for him 🙂 The ability to play with his Legos while waiting his turn was great.
Great idea and thanks!
I like how you made it open ended I am going to modify it a bit to be more cooperative play 🙂 (e.g. instead of giving away blocks into a pool or to another player the goal will be to build a large bridge over the pool/pond or add blocks to a tower without it falling down).
Thanks!
