Kick off your summer with cool things to build and free printable LEGO building challenges. You can use your collection of basic LEGO pieces to develop your unique versions of the LEGO ideas below! LEGO activities are perfect all year round!
Summer LEGO Task Cards
Grab your bricks, and let’s kick off the summer activities by building LEGO! Below you will find the opportunity to grab a free summer LEGO challenge pack featuring our summer LEGO challenge calendar, task cards, and our LEGO camp week guide.
These fun challenges offer a bit more structure but still feature unique challenges to complete. We have different themes for the whole year.
💡 Note: These challenges or task cards are more straightforward than a typical challenge prompt, as they have a specific goal to complete!
STEM challenges are usually open-ended suggestions to solve a problem. That’s a big part of what STEM is all about! This free printable summer LEGO challenge cards gives just a hint of inspiration for kids to apply the design process and build something cool!
Ask a question, develop solutions, design, test, and retest! The tasks are meant to get kids thinking about and using the design process with Lego!
What’s the design process? I’m glad you asked! In many ways, it’s a series of steps an engineer, inventor, or scientist would go through to solve a problem.
💡Learn more about the steps of the engineering design process and grab a free printable guide to add to your LEGO challenges.

How to Get Started with Summer LEGO Challenges
We try not to use many fancy pieces so anyone can try these spring LEGO ideas!
Discovering how to use the LEGO pieces you already have to make something cool is a great skill for young kids to learn early on. You don’t always need more of something. Instead, use your imagination and work with what you already have!
Here are a few tips:
- Don’t have enough of one color? Use another!
- Have a fun piece you can use instead? Go ahead!
- Want to take the challenge to another level? Make up your additions!
- This Classic LEGO set is perfect if you need to add pieces to your collection.
- Check your local online marketplaces for bulk bins of used bricks (approx $5-$8 per lb max)
- Purchase bulk LEGO bricks from LEGO.com
The goal is to be able to put those critical thinking skills to the test!
💡 Grab our year-round LEGO challenge calendar here and add a touch of science, STEM, and art to your LEGO challenges.
