How to Play
Lay the legos out on the table. If you have a lot of players split them up into teams. Review parts of a sentence, remind all children that there needs to be a verb (action word) and a noun (people, place or thing) to create a proper sentence structure.
On go challenge the children to put together a sentence. The sentence does not have to make sense but does need to have a noun and a verb.
After round one continue on using these challenges:
- A sentence with a describing word
- A question
- A sentence about school
- A sentence about you
- An emotion statement
- Something a crazy person would say
- Something your mom says
- A true statement
Anything you can think of. The funnier it is the more fun the kids will have. Have fun with it!
