The poster board should be large enough to accommodate the size of your Lego figure.
Step 2: Cut it out!
Once you have finished printing the Lego Man, carefully cut out the blank Lego head using a pair of scissors. This will create a hollow space where the participants try to pin the head in the next step.
Step 3: Off with the Heads
Cut out each Lego man’s head and write a number or name on the back of each one to easily keep track of the participants’ scores. You can also make them customize their Lego heads to be exciting for the players.
Step 4: Hang the Poster
Using tape, hang the poster board on a wall at a height suitable for the participants. Make sure it is secure and won’t fall during the game. Place the collection of Lego Man heads nearby, along with the blindfold.
Step 5: Rules and Gameplay
Now, it’s time to explain the rules to the participants. Blindfold one player at a time and spin them around a few times to disorient them. Then, hand them a head and instruct them to try and pin it onto the Lego Man’s body, aiming for the hollowed-out space where the head is missing. The player who gets the head closest to the intended spot wins.
