Encouraging Learning Through Play

Mind the Brick Challenges

Mind the Brick is our month long celebration of how LEGO bricks can help our wellbeing. We want to use this month to raise awareness of mental health issues, and encourage more people to feel they can be open about issues they have


We will be doing a lot of LEGO Brick challenges during this month, and I will be listing them below


All Social Media

Saturday 1st January to Sunday 30th January

#mindthebrick

Build anything you like under the theme of mental health. It could be

  • a brick representation of what is inside your mind

  • how you picture depression, anxiety or any other mental illness

  • how playing / building with LEGO bricks make you feel

Yep! You’re gonna build your SIgFig’s holy chamber, or mad scientist lair!! Open format! The only catch, is that you have to include at least one micro figure into your build. A mini you! This build will be based off of set: 76185

#mindthebrickhabitatchallenge

Your task is to build an 8x8 base habitat that represents a safe or peaceful space for you. This space can be a real place, like your LEGO room or a place you’ve visited, or it can be a space you’ve created in your mind that makes you feel peaceful, calm, and safe. (Blue is considered a calming color, so perhaps you could make a blue monochrome habitat!) Include your sigfig, spirit animal minifig, or no fig at all, this prompt is entirely open to your interpretation and all about the space. If you feel comfortable we’d love to hear the story behind its inspiration as well.
