How to Play LEGO Animal Charades

Before playing, make sure to download and save the printable LEGO building cards featuring 30 different animals (available at the bottom of the post).

You can print them out on regular printer paper, but I recommend printing on white cardstock paper. For even better durability, you can laminate the pages before cutting the cards apart.

After cutting the cards apart, shuffle them or spread them out face down. Bring out an assortment of LEGO bricks and get ready to have fun!

To play it as a game, have each person take a turn drawing a LEGO building challenge card and make the animal on it. Have everyone else try to guess what they are building.

You can also keep the guesses until after they finish building.

Children can also use these as fun random LEGO building challenges by themselves without the guessing.

Here are the animal building prompts included:

• bull
• dog
• ram
• monkey
• lion
• horse
