When my boys {ages 2.75 and 4.5} joined me, I explained that we were going to learn a few new words: {on top, in front, behind, left and right}.

The boys moved their men to the correct place…   Next came the fun! Each boy sat on a different side of the divider. Big Brother {age 4.5} moved his man to right side of the tower and called out “The man is on the right!” Then, with a little help from me, Little Brother {age 2.75} moved his man to the right side of his base.

So simple and fun!   When they were ready, I made the game a little more difficult by switching out their LEGO men and block towers for several different colored blocks. The caller arranged the blocks on his board and the listener tried placing his blocks in the same spots. The twist was a great challenge for Older Brother. LEGO Game: Where's LEGO Man?
