LEGO Copycats
Thursday, July 13 at 4pm
Led by Samantha Levine
Can you build a Lego project and then explain how to do it to others? In this game, kids are divided into messengers and builders. Messengers observe what builder groups are creating and then dash to communicate this information to their own builder group. Can they duplicate the structure exactly or will it end up looking totally wonky?
