Lego Challenge Cards For January

Description

International Lego Day is celebrated on January 28th to commemorate the day Lego applied for the patent on the brick building system we know and love today. Encourage creativity and critical thinking with our FREE Lego Challenge Cards for January!  

Use the now patented Lego bricks to build 31 unique items that coordinate with the January Holiday of the Day! The Lego Challenge Cards can be completed daily, or you can simply choose the cards that interest your children.

Lego Challenge Cards are also great for any days your kids can’t go outside because of the weather (Rain, Snow, Wind, Heat). They make excellent party games or Fun Friday activities.

HERE’S WHAT YOU GET:

• 4 Color pages with 8 cards on each page – A total of 31 Challenge ideas, one for each day of the month
• Printing instructions
• Teaching suggestions

Lego Challenge Cards can be used for:

• Early Finishers

• Centers / Free Choice Learning

 

Your children benefit from using these cards by learning to:

• Think Creatively
• Develop spatial thinking
• Using engineering concepts such as balance, gravity, and weight distribution
• Enhance fine motor skills

 

When working together with siblings or in your homeschool co-op children learn teamwork and communication skills by completing the Lego challenges.
