The LEGO guy was an hour of kids and legos. The kids enjoyed themselves and it was super easy to clean up. (Do not be fooled by the picture, the LEGO guy is a real, live grown-up)
The Lego guy presented on the Friday we also had Tornado warnings all across our state. Every child and Lego made it home safely.
The children were back by June 21 for more Lego fun. It was hot outside, but not dangerously so. I split the 44 children into three teams to play Lego relay.
Each child had a turn to run across the Auditorium parking lot and add a lego to their teams tower. A simple game that appealed to all ages. Rebecca pre-sorted Legos to create an equal, and therefore fair, 'supply bucket' for each team.
After running around outside we came in for some free-build time. Library staff set up tables and piled on the Legos.
We were down one staff person this week so Legos was the perfect choice to make our lives easier.
Very little prep work or clean-up.
I now have no memory of what we served as a snack or what story I read to the group. Both snack and story did happen, I am sure. I simply did not store the info in mind.
note: we borrowed my brother, Ben's, Legos as well as an extensive collection from Carol Robertson at the Madison County Museum. Thank you, to you both!
