We will begin all of our LEGO classes the same way - with our "Opening Salute" in which kids transform into "secret agents." Then I will catch them up on the weekly story of how they are using LEGOS to help save the world from the evil Professor Snot Rocket. This session the commanders are deep sea diving to stop the Professor from using underwater creatures to take over the world! Then the kids will expand their building skills and creativity using the LEGOS they have at home to complete building challenges related to the story. After that, we will play games (i.e. - categories, superhero name game) to improve focus, listening, and thinking on our feet. If there's time we do another fun LEGO challenge, then it's time for LEGO clean-up and a closing salute to transform them back into students.
