  • LEGO blocks of various sizes, shapes, and colors 

Before the meeting: 

  1. Set up the meeting location so Cub Scouts and adult partners can complete the activity together. 

During the meeting: 

  1. Gather the Cub Scouts and adult partners. Share with them that in this activity they are going to sort LEGO building blocks and then have a building challenge. 
  2. Give each Cub Scout a small pile of LEGO building blocks and give them instructions to sort the LEGO building blocks first by color.  Have them share how many of each color they had in their pile. 
  3. When everyone has sorted by color have them put the LEGO building blocks back in the pile and have them sort by shape.  Common shapes would be square, rectangle, triangle, and circle.  Have them share how many of each shape they had in their pile. 
  4. When everyone has sorted by shape have them put the LEGO building blocks back in the pile and have them sort the bricks by height. One pile are the flat pieces, the second pile are the traditional brick size.  Have them share how many of each they had in their pile. 
  5. Have everyone combine their piles of LEGO building blocks into one large pile.  Assign a different color to each Cub Scout based on the color of LEGO building blocks that are in the pile.  Have Cub Scouts build a house only using the color they were assigned.
