Here’s a classic party game that gets a LEGO makeover from Chickabug. Fill a clear jar with LEGO bricks and place a sign nearby asking guests to guess how many blocks are in the jar. Provide slips of paper for guests to write down their best guess and their name. The person who comes the closest without going over wins a prize. If you’re throwing a party for toddlers or very young children, consider using DUPLO blocks. But for older kids, fill the jar with regular, classic LEGO bricks. Whichever type of bricks you choose, make sure you select all the same size.

4. LEGO Piñata

Once all the surprises spill out onto the ground, give everyone a loot bag to gather up their treasures. You can use candy, stickers, and small trinkets like stamps, bracelets, and keychains as fillers.

Simple craft supplies like pom poms, buttons, pipe cleaners, and googly eyes will provide lots of options for LEGO artists to stretch their imaginations.

But you don’t have to overcomplicate your menu with too much stuff or intricately themed snacks. Sometimes, simple is best (and it saves your wallet, too). You can’t go wrong with these LEGO-inspired nibbles and drinks on your party menu, whether it’s pizza, popcorn, fruit, or other sweets and treats.

Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.)

Does LEGO do birthday parties?

LEGO stores no longer do in-store birthday parties. But if you have a store near you, ask them about any upcoming LEGO Club events. Many locations offer monthly workshops where they open the store an hour early for members to come and build, try out various challenges, and more. This might work out well if you plan to invite just a small group or a few of your kid’s close friends. Otherwise, you can seek out local party companies that might offer building or engineering activities that you can incorporate into your party.

What should you get a LEGO lover for their birthday party?

If you’re trying to find the perfect gift for the LEGO-obsessed birthday kid, the options are endless. A new LEGO set is always a pleaser, but which one? Go for your child’s favorites, for example, a Harry Potter set if they’re a fan or a LEGO Technic kit for the budding engineer. If you don’t know what sets they already have, opt for a gift card to the LEGO store or some cool LEGO storage that allows them to take creations on the go.

What are good color schemes for a LEGO party?

The most popular colors for a LEGO party are red, yellow, green, and blue. You’ll find these in a lot of decorations and supplies for this theme, and sometimes just the primary colors (red, yellow, and blue). If you’re going with a LEGO Friends theme, then pink, purple, and white take center stage. If you want to get even more colorful, you can do all the colors of the rainbow and decorate with LEGO bricks and solid color decorations.
