LEGO Education Activities are designed to be rich, fun-filled, creative learning experiences. They let educators use LEGO sets as essential tools that engage students, challenge their creativity, and build their knowledge and comprehension. From role-playing and meeting early childhood development needs to theme-based sets for older students, LEGO Activities offer a multidisciplinary approach to teaching. Find sets to cover specific subject areas, including the technology curriculum. As you browse the activities, you'll also find clear connections to curriculum in simple machines and other science topics. Stay current and find more stimulating ideas by checking out the LEGO Education and LEGO Smart Blogs on the < i> LEGO Education Activities page.

In the Classroom

Expose your students to different levels of the learning spiral by challenging them to use problem-solving skills for increasingly difficult obstacles. Students can work in small groups to build cooperation and teamwork as they sort, graph, follow directions, and discuss ideas. Of course, you will need some LEGOs, so you might raid your own children's toy boxes, request donations in your classroom newsletter, look for LEGO kits collecting dust on classroom shelves, or add it to your school's PTA wish list. Be sure to have cooperative learning groups video their activities to share with the rest of the class using a site such as SchoolTube (reviewed here).
