The Lego Person Challenge
Lesson Plan for The Lego Person Challenge
Overview
The activity to be completed in class is referred to as the “Lego Person Challenge.” It is a game in which the class is divided into separate groups to compete against the other teams to complete the challenge (to recreate a Lego model) as fast as possible. The challenge is designed (through gamification) to allow for all four of Bartle's player types to have a chance to demonstrate their traits and capabilities. The different components of the activity highlite different individual aspects of the participants, and allow for dynamic learning. This activity can only be completed in person, as intragroup communication and physical actions are integral.
