Lego club

In an attempt to fill a need in this small town in which I live, I started a Lego Club.  I am posting activities I have done so that others may benefit.  If you start a Lego Club of your own, feel free to share your ideas here.  Tell me what worked and what didn’t work.

Meeting info:

Times: 1pm – 2:30

Dates: Once a month

Ages: 7 through teen

Fee: $3 per child per meeting to cover costs of materials and snack.

Description:  A basic Lego building club that meets once a month with challenge activities each meeting.  Activities include building projects that nurture creativity through science, problem solving and critical thinking.  A “Show & Tell” time will start each meeting to give participants an opportunity to talk about what they have worked on at home.
