Children will use Legos in a fun and creative way to build knowledge on a topic of their choice as well as gain experience reading and writing contractions.

This is not so much a lesson as it is an outline for creating a lesson. Parents will need to help their kids choose a topic and provide ways to research it with the end goal of building a Lego creation to demonstrate some part of what they learned. I have a Lego enthusiast so I was interested to see if this lesson would be a good fit for us but as we already use hands on activities, including Legos, in much of our learning I don't feel like this offers anything very helpful for families like ours looking for full lessons ready to be taught.

Share Your Learning With Lego® Bricks

This lesson builds multiplication skills in a fun way through Lego builds, a Lego game and a Lego recipe!

I love this lesson! This is such a fun, simple way to help kids learn and practice multiplication. Having tangible objects helped reinforce the concepts and who doesn’t like building with Lego?! Most of the supplies are things that many people have around the house, which is always nice. While the lesson is aimed at 3rd-5th graders who are learning multiplication, my 1st grader was also able to get in on the fun by using them as an addition manipulative instead of multiplication.

Lego Math

During this lesson, children will engage in storytelling and will apply their critical thinking and S.T.E.M. skills as they use building bricks to build solutions to problems they encounter during the story.

The best thing about this lesson? It is truly ENDLESS: use whatever building toy you have (switch them for even more variety), vary the setting, change the obstacles, change the engineering of them....My kids (ages 6, 10, 11; grades 2, 5, 8) would LOVE this and I guarantee they'd "play" it over and over again. My youngest would want to write a book for each adventure, while my middle would want to illustrate each one. This one lesson offers a truly unique way to engage all of your students in the way that fits them best.

Obstacles! Creative Thinking, S.T.E.M. Concepts, and Lego Bricks Unite

This lesson uses Lego as a stimulus for reading, writing and Math work.

What a wonderfully full set of activities to engage your younger students! Because all of my students are out of the suggested age range (ages 6, 10, 11; grades 2, 5, 8), we left out a number of activities but still had lots of fun! We enjoyed the History of LEGO video (perfect for my students, but I think a bit much for the younger ages), building new LEGO sets, and making the Rice Krispie treats. We invited friends over for the fun. They watched the video while building, and then together created the treats. There are lots of resources available to fluff this lesson out for older students; I was able to find math activities up to algebra as well as language arts adaptations (we did it the easy way and they did an oral summary of the video).

Lego Day (Jan 28)

This lesson teaches fractions using legos.

This lesson is so fun!! My first grader has just begun to learn fractions and most of these activities are too advanced for him. I think the author's suggestion of third grade level is correct. My kids love Legos, pizza, and card games so I'm definitely bookmarking this for the future!

Fractions with Legos

Learners will read, study, watch, and build as they learn all about the history of Lego® Bricks!

This is a great lesson to teach the history of Legos as well as information about how they are made. I really enjoyed the video and know the kids would enjoy learning more about the company. I like the idea of having them record their explanation of what they have made, it's good public speaking practice.

Read, Learn, and Build with the Book: What is Lego®?

This lesson is a fun and tactile way to learn addition with everyday objects. You just need Legos and the lesson includes a printable dice if you don't have one handy.

K-2nd.  This could take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour if the kid loves the game! I am super excited to share this lesson with my kids! They love legos and I love having them learn in fun ways. This is right up our alley. We have everything needed for this lesson and I definitely plan on adding this to our math curriculum. This could be easily adapted for younger kids to learn number recognition or older kids needing multiplication practise. I always enjoy seeing a printable worksheet with a lesson

In this lesson children will be introduced to the fine arts of Mexico by studying architecture, painting, pottery, music, and dance, specific to Mexico and Mexican culture!

This is just in time for my family to use for our Hands-On History days once we finish our central America chapter in history. I'll also be using another Flock lesson on Frida Kahlo, and I'm sure the two will mesh wonderfully. This lesson is so full of engaging activities that really explore the cultural heritage of the area. My students are ages 6, 10, 11 (grades 2, 5, 8). They will especially love the clay project!

Fine Arts Around The World: Mexico

This lesson examines the American flag through comprehensive reading and research, comprehension worksheets, summarizing, a poem, quizzing family, and sorting. It also features building an American flag out of Legos, coloring, making a 4th of July cake, and crafting paper lanterns!

The American Flag

This lesson on the triceratops includes a variety of activities such as making a triceratops out of Legos, drawing a triceratops, and making a Venn diagram to compare the triceratops and the ankylosaurus.

Triceratops

This lesson teaches all about the history behind Valentine's day through reading, writing, lego building, word scrabble and Valentine’s Bingo.

The Origin of Valentine's Day

In this lesson children will learn about the amazing ride of Paul Revere! Children will read engaging books, watch informative videos, create a map of Paul’s ride, a poster full of facts, discover the famous portrait of Paul Revere, and host a tea party and poetry reading!

America's Paul Revere Book Study

This lesson teaches children what multiplication is and introduces the 0, 1, 2 and 3 times tables.

Multiply by 0's, 1's, 2's, and 3's

This lesson uses the book The Cat in the Hat as a stimulus to practice key English and Math skills.

Learning with the Cat in the Hat

This lesson introduces DNA to children and incorporates a delicious edible DNA model.

My kids will love this lesson! It's such a fun and interactive way to explore the molecular basis of DNA, its components, and its function within the cell. My only reservation is that the opening activity with Punnett squares is applied genetics (while the rest of the lesson is focused on cellular/molecular biology), so it doesn't seem like it fits perfectly. Given that, when my family employs this lesson, we will just leave out that part!
