I love Lego and as a teacher I love learning with Lego too. I love it even more because I can now buy it with the excuse of buying it for my boys. I’ve used it in teaching for years. It’s such a fantastic tool for using the creativity of the mind to link to learning. Lego know this too and are really supportive.
I’m often surprised that teachers don’t think to use Lego to help in the classroom as a learning tool. Just look at the creativity below from adults.
I’m not the first person to think of this. It’s not ground breaking. Just check these amazing pins on Pinterest. It’s just that I don’t understand why you wouldn’t want to. Not as the be all and end all, sure. But I’m a firm believer that it should feature in your teaching toolkit, for sure.
