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…
This 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
I just checked them and they are linked correctly. If you try again and they don’t work for you for some reason, just let me know and I’ll email them to you!
Thanks.
I just tried to print as well and they are not printing correctly. I would love to have them to play with my kids. Can you email them to me? The LOVE Legos!
Thank you for letting me know. I’ve email you the board.
Jillian, if you could email them to me that would be awesome (I just double checked and the images still don’t appear correctly for me) Thank you!

thanks a million !
I am having the same problem with right and left side printing together. Suggestions? Great game and activity! Thank you so much.
Thank you for letting me know. I’ve email you the board.
The links to the right side and left side are the same. Could you please email me the right side of the game board? My grandson and I would love to play but we can’t until we get both sides of the board. Thanks a lot!
Thank you for letting me know. I’ve email you the board.
I love this idea. Thanks for the time and effort spent creating it, and for sharing it with us!
We’re reading this as a family before bed. Thank you for such a sweet comment to end the day.
First, 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.
I emailed you Danae. 🙂
me too glad to see I wasn’t the only one..can you please e mail me the right side …
Thank 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!
How fun! I would love to do a Lego camp. I’m glad the web address is helpful. 🙂
I want to use this game for my Lego World Summer Camp classes….please email me the corrected version of the game! I cannot wait to share this with the kids!! They will LOVE IT~!
Thanks!
What a fantastic activity Jillian…just we need for a rainy day tomorrow! You are so kind to share. Please email me the corrected version of the Lego board. Thanks.
My boys would love to play this game. I can’t get game board to open for me at all. Will you email me it? We are looking for fun activities to do this summer. Thanks for creating this.
Can you please send me the game board? Nothing is showing up on my screen. Thanks
Will do Kathy. Urg… thought it was fixed. I guess hubby has a little project tonight. 😉

Thanks so much and God bless!!
Thank you so much for sharing this! I can’t wait to try it out with my kids and my younger brother (he’s a Lego-freak!!) 🙂
Thanks for sharing! Can’t wait to play this during our homeschool day. I gave the printed boards to my son to color in each square. Sneaking in a little school stuff without him even knowing. 😉
Thank you so very much for sharing. We are HUGE Lego collectors at our house. My 4 and 10 year sons loved the game!!
Thank you for this great idea, and for sharing your hard work with us! My boys will love having another reason to use their Legos; it will be a fun break during our homeschool day :).
Hi! I have been trying to print this but both sides keep coming up blank. Could you please email me a copy of the game & directions? Thank you so much!!! My son & dayhome kids would LOVE this!
🙂 Chantelle
I had no problems whatsoever printing this, and I can’t wait to use it tomorrow with my boys and my daycare kids. Thanks so much for creating it and sharing it!
Looking forward to trying this out on my kids, will hopefully get chance to blog about their interactions with the game also.
Thanks so much for this. My grandson would absolutely love this. He has totes of Legos. If possible could you email me the printable game. I tried to download and both look the same. Thanks so much. Have a blessed day.
Hi, sorry to be a pain as I see you’ve been forwarding the attachment of the board game to quite a few people but I too would love to be emailed it?? apricotupsidedowncake@hotmail.com. Thanks!!
Fantastic idea for using the minifigs! Wheels spinning now…
Hi! Would love to play this, but not able to bring up the board. Can you please email? Thanks so much!!!!! Perfect idea for our lego loving boys on these cold snowy days!
I’m tempted to hide my wife’s birth control so we can have some kids to start playing this. Well done!
Hi.
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 🙂
My screen is blank as well when I open the game boards. Will you please email them to me? Thank you!!
Hi
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
I love the idea of switching to fractions! Really you could edit to any skill they are learning. I love the way you think. 😉
Love this idea for my special education classroom!! Please e-mail the link to this LEGO board game.
Thanks so much!!!
Thank you for sharing my older two boys will love this
Could you email the link as well – cant see them good either
done 🙂
IM LOOKING FOR A LINK TO PRINT OFF A GAME BOARD FOR LEGO GAME
It’s about half way down the page. If you don’t see it, let me know and I’ll email it to you. Thanks
My son LOVES Legos AND board games! The combination of the two are going to blow his mind! I can’t wait!
What a cool idea! My kids are going to love this. Thank you so much!!
Yay!
Could you email me the board also. My boys would love this! Thanks
I was inspired by your game given to me as an exercise by my child’s Speech Therapist. I wanted to share with you and thanks for such a great game 🙂

I love it!!! How wonderful. (I also love that the Speech Therapist gave it as an exercise.) You made my night. 🙂
I am glad 🙂 I loved this idea when the therapist showed me. Thanks so much!
Thanks for this great game. I have printed without difficulty and will be sharing it on my blog (referenced and linked to you).
Hi, 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.
can you email me the board PLEASE 🙂
I 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.
Thank 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!
