The Brick Bistro

Psst! Don’t tell anyone, but we’re making a secret hideout for us all to hang out in. Grab your LEGO® bricks and meet back here when no-one’s watching. This is going to be awesome.

Slimy swamp, spooky castle, or tropical treehouse? Have a think and then start building.

Hideout_Steps_Open_00001.jpg

Choose a theme together

Make sure there’s enough space for all of your group!

Hideout_Steps_Open_00002.jpg

Expand your hideout

Something to keep your hideout safe and keep uninvited guests out!

Hideout_Steps_Open_00003.jpg

Build a guard

No distractions. No interruptions. It’s just you and your friends. What do you want to do?

Hideout_Steps_Open_00004.jpg

Party!

You’re approaching 300mm above floor level and the air’s getting thin. There’s a loose pile of books ahead. Above that, who knows? No minifigure has ever made it this far before. You grip onto your equipment – take a breath – and keep climbing. 

Create a small team of minifigure mountaineers. Then grab some LEGO® pieces for your mountaineering kit. You’ll need plates for footholds, ladders and ropes for climbing, and bridges for getting across gaps.

Mountain_Steps_Open_00001.jpg

Assemble your team and get your kit sorted

Look around your bedroom. Where should your minifigures start climbing? What can you build to help them?

Mountain_Steps_Open_00002.jpg

Start climbing

So far so good. Now, what path should your minifigures take? What can you build them for the next obstacle? And the next?

Mountain_Steps_Open_00003.jpg

Keep going

And remember to stay safe. Let your minifigures do the climbing while you stay on the ground.

Mountain_Steps_Open_00004.jpg

How high can your minifigures climb?

You’re brave. You’re talented. You’re kind of a maverick. Who better to build a LEGO® plane and fly it solo all the way around your home?

Make sure you can hold the plane in your hand and swoosh it about.

Flight_Steps_Open_00001.jpg

Build an awesome plane

Whoosh! Pick up your plane and take it soaring and looping the loop all around your home.

Flight_Steps_Open_00002.jpg

Fly off on your adventure

Build a pit stop for food and fuel – plus anything else you might need on a long journey.

Flight_Steps_Open_00003.jpg

Remember to stop somewhere for supplies

You and your friends are going on an adventure. Can you make a detailed LEGO® map to guide you through this strange, exciting place?

An assortment of LEGO® bricks

Where do you all want to go? What could it be that makes that place special?

FC_LH_3_Step_1.png

Adventurer minifigures looking at a LEGO map

Do some research

If you can, get different colors for different parts of the map. Like gray for rock and blue for water.

FC_LH_3_Step2.png

Grab some bricks and a big plate

Use the big plate as the base for the map. Use piles of bricks to mark what goes where.

FC_LH_3_Step3.png

Plan the map with your friends 

Decide who’s going to build what. Maybe each person works on a different part of the map. Or maybe one person could work on trees, one on hills etc.

FC_LH_3_Step4.png

Get building!

Use special pieces to mark particularly interesting, mysterious or even dangerous areas of the map. Then use your map to play exploring games with your friends.

FC_LH_3_Step5.png

Add some detail

Don’t put LEGO® pieces in your mouth. Don’t even pretend to eat them, as younger children might be watching.

Please play safely

Have you got what it takes to be LEGO® chef? Design a menu and build brick dishes against the clock in this fun activity!

A handful of LEGO® bricks

A pen and paper

Something to serve your meals on

What brick dishes will you choose?

FH_Ep2_BK_2_Step 1.png

Create a menu

Split into pairs. Each person orders something off the menu.

FH_Ep2_BK_2_Step2.png

Order your food

You’ve got ten minutes to make whatever your partner ordered.

FH_Ep2_BK_2_Step3.png

Get cooking!

Present your dish to your partner. Remember – don’t put LEGO® bricks in your mouth!

FH_Ep2_BK_2_Step4.png

Service!

Take it further. Can you make a three-course meal? What starters, mains and desserts can you think of?

FH_Ep2_BK_2_Step5.png

Still hungry?

Ahoy there! Use your LEGO® bricks to save these sailors from the island! But remember to keep your hands far away from those sharks! 

Try to get a range of pieces, including some big plates.

FC_CS_2_Step_1.png

Minifigures sitting on top of a pile of LEGO bricks

Grab some bricks

Don't put your ship down on the table – the sharks will rip it to pieces! You’re going to have to keep it in one hand the whole time.

Build the bottom of your ship 

You can’t set sail in a leaky ship. Remember to keep it off the table, those sharks are getting hungry.

FC_CS_2_Step3.png

Now build up the sides 

Add your finishing touches: flag, figurehead and the helm (that’s the steering wheel).

Make sure your ship is seaworthy

You’re safe now. Put your ship on the table and sail away.

Set sail for the horizon! 

Every eccentric and tragically misunderstood genius needs a lair. That’s just a fact. And they probably won’t plot anything really evil in there, anyway. So maybe it’s ok for you to build them an awesome super villain’s lair, right? What’s the worst that can happen?

Something with really mysterious vibes. And that’s fine. Nothing wrong with being mysterious.

Choose a color scheme

Hey – don’t jump to conclusions. There’s no reason to think there’s anything evil going on.

Villain_Steps_Open_00002.jpg

Build a laboratory

Well that is odd. But, you know, just because they’ve got a doomsday device doesn’t mean they’re going to use it.

Villain_Steps_Open_00003.jpg

Build a doomsday device

Maybe we could continue this discussion later? I’ve just remembered I’ve got to be somewhere – somewhere very far away. Bye!

Villain_Steps_Open_00004.jpg

Build a big red button

Pick up your dice and have courage! Build the best board game you can with the LEGO® bricks you get. That is your challenge. Do you dare take it?

6 dice

Some minifigures

Before you go adventuring, you first need to decide what kind of character you are. Are you a knight or a healer? Or maybe something else entirely?

FC_GG_1_Step_1.png

Get six dice and some LEGO® minifigures

FC_GG_1_Step2.png

Get your bricks

Add up how much you rolled. That’s how many bricks you can use to build somewhere or something you might encounter on your quest.

Minifigures in different costumes, building different scenes

Takes turns to roll all six dice

Roll more dice. Build more murky swamps and creepy castles. Make a world epic enough to get lost in. Now can you create a boardgame using your dice, LEGO builds and minifigures? Good luck. And be careful out there.

Minifigures in different costumes, surrounded by different builds like forest, spiderweb and so on

Keep going until you’ve built a world of mystery and magic

Parents, you can help create the ultimate artist look with clothes, fabrics and materials from around the house. Think stripy shirts and berets.

Top tip

In this fun activity, you’ll build a work of art your way using LEGO® bricks. The best bit? No. Rules. Whatsoever.


A collection of LEGO® bricks

Paper and pens for drawing

Clothes for dressing up

Artists often get inspiration from other artists – and LEGO artists are no exception. Take a look at some works of art online and see if you can find some ideas you like.

Build_a_Masterpiece_Assets_Step_1.png

Get inspired

Before you start building, draw a rough sketch to help bring your LEGO masterpiece to life.

Build_a_Masterpiece_Assets_Step_2.png

Sketch out your idea

Remember, they don’t all need to piece together in a specific way. You can combine any color, shape or style you like.

Build_a_Masterpiece_Assets_Step_3.png

Assemble your bricks

Now, there’s only one thing to do – build your artwork! Use your inspiration, creativity and LEGO bricks to create your perfect masterpiece.

Build_a_Masterpiece_Assets_Step_4.png

Build your masterpiece!

If the children are struggling finding something to build you can give them some tips to get them started: Choose 15 bricks and use these to:Build&nbsp;an animal Build a secret place Build something magical Afterwards you can move this activity into a writing exercise where they have to write down the story they have built.

Top Tips

In this activity we'll bring stories to life using LEGO® bricks, what will yours be?

Introduce everyone to the idea that a story has a beginning, middle and end. Just like your physical creations using LEGO® bricks, a story has to built from the bottom up!

FC_LLW_PlaytypeStoryTeller_Step3.png

How is a story built?

See if everyone can build their own story (on a base plate or without) in the three steps: beginning, middle and end.

FH_Build_A_story_Assets_Step_2.png

Do you have what it takes?

Once you’re all done, grab some treats and sit back to listen to each other’s stories!

FH_Build_A_story_Assets_Step_3.png

Let's hear your story!
