LEGO bricks are a great way to bring fun and creativity in to the classroom! Their tactile nature makes them irresistible for fingers of all sizes, and these hands-on classes at Lviv British School are ideal for reinforcing key content and providing fun!
Here are 5 important skills that children learn from LEGO classes at Lviv British School:
1) Fine Motor Skill Development. Working with LEGO pieces requires coordination and precision! This is especially important for our students
2) Teamwork and Cooperation. No LEGO city can be built alone! Children work together to construct their models.
3) Problem Solving and Perseverance. Sometimes things don’t go according to plan! Maybe the tall skyscraper falls down and it needs to be rebuilt. Or maybe the LEGO pieces just aren’t quite fitting together to form the project that a child envisioned in their mind. Problem solving, thinking outside the box, and the resilience required to push past setbacks is an important part of the LEGO building process.
4) Creative Thinking. The world of LEGO is limitless! The only limit is a child’s imagination. One of the many great things about LEGO is that you can make pretty anything if you are creative enough!
5) Self-Confidence. Completing a building project provides an immense sense of accomplishment! Turning a random pile of LEGO bricks into a plane or a skyscraper is a magical transformation that inspires kids to take on challenges in the real world. By reaching their LEGO building goals, children set themselves up to reach other important milestones as well!
