SUMMER CHALLENGE: Not all agents wear capes. Some carry LEGO® bricks, a catalogue of play activities and an uncanny ability to turn learning into play. Each year, so many LEGO Group colleagues become Play Agents, learning how to integrate playful activities into our everyday work lives. From strengthening communication and collaboration to unlocking creativity and fresh thinking, our Play Agents help bring Learning Through Play to life across our workplaces. But why should we have all the fun? Every Friday in July, we’re taking some of our favourite Play Agent activities to LinkedIn. No training required. Just a few minutes, willingness to play, and maybe a colleague, friend or family member to join you. (Psst... they're not just for grown-ups. Many of these activities are equally fun with the kids over the holiday.) Challenge #1: Back-to-back with LEGO bricks. For this challenge, you’ll need ~6 LEGO bricks of any size, colour or shape. :: Find a teammate and sit back-to-back. :: One person builds something using the LEGO bricks. :: When they’re finished, they describe what they built and how they built it – without showing their creation. :: The other person tries to recreate the build based only on the instructions. :: Time for the big reveal! Compare creations and see how closely they match. No bricks nearby? No problem. Try drawing a simple object instead and describe it while your teammate attempts to draw the same thing without looking! How close did you get?
