For Schools

Building Friendships has been designed in collaboration with psychologists, academics and learning through play specialists.  Find out more about Learning through Play.

There are six different activities:

• Tall Towers: Two teams are challenged to build the tallest, strongest tower.

• Set Building: Teams work together to choose a theme and build a model.

• Build and Share: Children and young people build individual models to help them safely share some positive feelings with the group.

• Aqua Build: LEGO® and water play combine in themed building challenges.

• Speedy Racers: Two teams compete to build LEGO vehicles.

• Marble Maze: Pairs work together to build a LEGO maze.

Please register for a FREE Play Included account to access the free Building Friendships activities, teacher guide and a short instructional video. You will also have access to additional introductory resources in the portal.

The Building Friendships activities have been produced for teachers to use with the whole class. There are primary and secondary school versions, so activities are suitable for use with children aged 4-16. Each activity has two difficulty levels, enabling teachers to tailor for different abilities in the class.

Building Friendships activities can be used with any LEGO® bricks that you already have, ideally with some baseplates and LEGO minifigures if possible.
