Our Lego classes and birthday parties are a great way to develop your little one’s social skills. Lessons are primarily designed for children’s hands-on learning, but lego® education is also perfect for adolescents and adults. Here’s why it’s effective for building social skills and forming strong relationships with peers.
Structured Collaboration
Our Brick Buddies Group involves structured activities where participants take on specific roles (engineer, supplier and builder) in a team setting. This structure encourages collaboration within the classroom, communication, and teamwork, essential components of social interaction. WE provide all Lego kits for students, through to advanced robotics.
Clear Objectives and Rules
The group times have clear objectives and outcomes for the individual or group to achieve (building a specific model or structure) and rules, creating a controlled environment that helps the kids understand and develop social parameters, expectations, follow guidelines and cooperate effectively.

More Reasons Why A Lego Class Lesson Is Beneficial
Turn-Taking and Shared Focus
The necessity to take turns, share resources, and work toward a common goal fosters the development of essential social skills like patience, empathy, and perspective-taking. Participants learn to listen to others’ ideas and compromise to achieve a shared objective.
Safe and Supportive Environment
Lego provides a safe and enjoyable context for interaction, making it easier for individuals, especially those with social challenges like autism spectrum disorders, to engage in social interaction without feeling overwhelmed or pressured.
Concrete Learning Experience
Through Lego play, our children and young people learn social skills in a concrete and tangible way. They can immediately see the consequences of their actions, leading to discussions and reflections on effective communication, problem-solving, and cooperation.
Natural Social Feedback
In our Brick Buddies program, individuals work together, they naturally receive feedback from their peers about their social behavior and interactions. This allows for real-time adjustments in communication styles, understanding social cues, as well as adapting and becoming familiar with different personalities.

Negotiation is another vital skill that flourishes within the context of Dungeons and Dragons gameplay. The game often presents players with situations that demand collaboration, compromise, and strategic decision-making. Characters might find themselves bartering with merchants, mediating disputes between party members, or forming alliances with in-game factions. As players navigate these scenarios, they develop a keen understanding of persuasive communication and negotiation techniques, honing their ability to find common ground, resolve conflicts, and achieve mutually beneficial outcomes.
