Lego Challenge Cards

Many kids love to make-up their own inventive creations out of Lego. That is wonderful – such a great way for them to explore their imaginations and creativity. It teaches children the importance of persisting with a task to see their vision realized, take their time / finish a task / persevere,  strengthen coordination and fine motor skills, and follow complex designs.  However, some children get stuck on what should they create. Still others are looking for new challenges on what to create. And still more are just looking for more excuses to build with their favorite building material.

Famous Landmarks in the World

To complete this famous landmarks around the world, simply print the full color famous landmarks printables. I suggest printing in color on cardstock or laminating for durability.

Next, cut the cards apart. Each sheet has four cards. I like to cut around the edges of each card so just the border is showing. Or you can just cut down the middle both horizontally and vertically and you will have your LOW PREP lego activity for kids ready to go!

I suggest as you give them the card or when they are finished building the iconic building, that they find the country, whose building they just created a model for, on a map.  You can use a large wall map or our free printable maps.

  • Hi! I would love to download your file, but only the first page works. We can see the instructions, but the following pages seem to be corrupt. I tried opening it in Google Docs instead and the words show, but the images do not. Can you check? Thanks!

    • Just checked and it was download several thousand times yesterday. Try a different browser – most people use google chrome. Also try downloading the file first and then looking. The preview is bandwidth and memory intensive =)
