bricks for kids: classic brick arcade WITH LEGO®
Let’s take it back to when it all started in the 1980’s and jump into the world of classic arcade and video games when you ate flashing dots, collected coins and rings and avoided getting killed by enemies. There were so many obstacles to overcome and levels to beat!
That was the time of 8-bit and later 16-bit technology, which gave these old games their classic blocky appearance. With LEGO, children will build the famous plumber brothers, a brick eater, a jumping hedgehog, alien invaders and many more arcade game characters!
Participants are encouraged to bring in a drink and a snack as there is a break in the middle of the session.
Suitable for primary school children aged 5 –12 years.
