Yesterday I was introduced to LEGO PlayStarter developed by LEGO Foundation, LEGO Education & LEGO Community Engagement. The content of this meeting is very applicable to our fan community exhibitions, I would like to share what it was and how you can utilize as well!
Before going into the program details, we had a message from Kjeld about the importance of play.
Some LEGO DUPLO bricks and the LEGO duck was prepared for the activities:
The first activity was to form groups of three to build the tallest tower to hold a water bottle using DUPLO bricks. Thus was bi easy task as it needed to be stable to hold the water bottle.
The second activity was to build the LEGO duck in 45 seconds - there is no correct duck and everyone built different ducks.
The last session was to have groups to answer the question from the build. Each person was to select a word and try to explain with the build and answering to questions only with "Yes" and "No".
It was very interesting and lots of creativity was kicked in, like Michael Jackson below😂

After the activities, we were introduced to the LEGO Foundations five skills to holistic development:
Emotional, Cognitive, Creative, Physical, Social.
The activities included all the skills and some focus areas. I found the activity very beneficial, and it would be easy to execute in our fan community events, where we can introduce the visitors to the value and skills which can develop through the bricks.This activity can be introduced in many ways, to friends, teachers, parents, colleagues and more.
I highly recommend you to try at our gatherings and exhibitions!
For more details and information please reach out or leave comments, I will try to answer you in the best possible way 😃
