LEGO party ideas

I threw my son a LEGO party several years ago. It’s been one of his favorites – and his friends loved it too. (See everything I did HERE.) I think this is one of those ideas that will always be popular, so I’ve rounded up more ideas for next time.

LEGO party printables

I designed a set of printable LEGO party supplies. It includes:

• invitation
• thank you note
• bunting triangles
• water bottle wrap labels
• table tent cards for names or food labels
• party circles for confetti, toothpick toppers, etc.

LEGO decor and set up

Turn simple foam rectangles into LEGO bricks in any size you need for an easy homemade party banner. Download from LEGO brick decor from The Scrap Shoppe Blog.

LEGO party invitations

Make DIY LEGO party invitations like Little Family Fun. Use card stock to make these simple LEGO block-inspired birthday party invitations. Match the classic brick colors or choose any color to match your party decor.

LEGO minifigure standup

Use this cutout mini figure that looks like Emmett from The LEGO Movie for a fun and easy photo booth prop. Each child can pose as a life-sized LEGO character. Learn how to make a LEGO Emmett standup cutout (or your kid’s favorite character) from Life with Fingerprints.

LEGO cake plate

LEGO party activities

Minifigure coloring sheet

Print a color yourself as a minifigure page that you can download here on One Mama’s Daily Drama. Coloring is a fun busy activity to have set up for guests as they arrive and while you wait for everyone else. Set up an area with whatever art supplies you have on hand.

Minifigure masks

Grab a set of printable LEGO masks from Creciendo con Montessori. This creative birthday party idea includes printable LEGO minifigure masks. Prepare them ahead of time or use them as a party activity and let each child decorate their own.

LEGO Bingo game

Play LEGO bingo for a fun and exciting group activity. Bingo is a classic birthday party game that is fun for kids of all ages. This LEGO version here on One Mama’s Daily Drama includes a mix of unique pieces and a set of 10 game cards, plus calling cards.

Pin the head on the minifigure

Grab this printable Pin the Head on the Minifigure game from Hale Grafx. This fun variation on a popular party game lets kids try to place the head on a minifigure. Print large or small, depending on the party guests’ ages.

LEGO brick piñata

Piñatas are always a hit at birthday parties and this one is almost as simple as gift-wrapping a box. Follow the instructions from Little Family Fun to make it. Then fill the box with any type of candy or look for LEGO-shaped treats.
