GETTING THE MOST FROM LEGO® ACTIVITIES

LEGO® is great for gaining engagement and involvement in sessions, BUT as an L&D professional my eye is firmly on the underlying learning principles, one of which is the debrief. 

Without a purposeful debrief you’re simply playing with LEGO®!

Here’s just a few things to keep in mind:

• As part of the design of the activity, have a clear outcome for the debrief.
• Allow learner/s to consider what they have learnt from the activity individually before asking for examples of learning from group.
• To help solicit more insights, you could ask them:
  • What themes did they notice when others were sharing their learning?
  • Did people have different pieces but the same answer, or visa-versa?
  • What did they notice about their own answers / other people answers? 
• How would they draw their own learning from the activity back to our main topic of the session?
• Recap on main comments and help them reflect on anything not already mentioned.

This is just one of the things we discuss in the ‘LEGO® Workshop for Training Teams and ​​L&D Professionals’.  Check out the full content here:  https://www.curiouslighthouse.co.uk/lego-workshop.html
