Planning LEGO party games for 8 year olds is easy because this age group is ALL ABOUT LEGOs.
Don’t believe me? Just ask them what their favorite movie was last year!
I bet you five red bricks I can guess the answer. I absolutely love planning LEGO party games for kids because you can go in so many directions with them.
Just like the blocks themselves, the possibilities are limitless.
Plus, you have to admit, they are pretty awesome!

Lego Scavenger Hunt:
Hide some Lego bricks around the house. You can break the kids up into teams of 2 and give them each a color they have to find. If the blue team finds a red brick, they have to leave it. Make it a little more interesting by hiding a Lego man, made out of paper. Hide only one and the team to find it gets a special prize!
Lego relay 2nd edition:
This LEGO party games for 8 year olds is similar to a typical relay using spoons and Lego bricks only with an added twist.
- Separate the kids into teams of 2 and have them form 2 lines across from one another.
- One team member holds the spoon with 1 Lego piece.
- Once he makes it to the other side without dropping it, his teammate will add another Lego brick and bring it back to him.
- This will go back and forth, adding Legos, until there is only one team left standing.

Lego man blindfolded:
This is a variation of the classic pin the tail on the donkey.
- Each guest will get a piece of the Lego man body to build, an arm, a leg, the head, the body, you get the idea (and you can either draw and cut these out, or find an image online and cut it out).
- Blindfold each guest, spin him around and point him in the direction of the poster where he is going to place the body part.
- You can have the kids give hints to the person blindfolded or they can keep quiet and see what happens!
Blind builder:
- Give each guest a bowl of Legos and a blindfold.
- Just make sure each bowl has the same amount of Legos.
- Set the timer and see what they can build before the timer goes off, but they must be blindfolded!
- Take a picture of each guest and his or creation, you can send it in the thank you cards.
These LEGO party games will keep your 8-year-olds guests busy and entertained (and maybe even talking about it Monday at school!)

My son is really into LEGO – love the scavenger hunt idea!
Those are some really fun ideas. I especially like the idea of taking each guest’s picture and sending it. I could be adapted for any party.
Oh how fun! I especially love the idea of having a LEGO scavenger hunt. We love LEGO around here!
I was at a Lego Convention in Portland a couple of years ago and there were doing games like this. The kids really liked it and were getting into it!
I love the colourful scavenger hunt idea! That would be great for younger kids too who are learning their colours. I think I am going to have to set up a hunt with my boys!
Love the building of a Lego man while blind folded. I am thinking some the boys WAY beyond their 8th birthday would also want to join in.
Such cute and creative ideas! My youngest is just starting to get into Legos and I’m going to bookmark this for his parties as he gets older.
How fun! I don’t know a single little boy who wouldn’t LOVE to be at this party! Great post 🙂
