Meant to get this one out for Halloween, but life got in the way. Wah wahhh. So I’ve done a few Halloween challenges like The “Monster Mix-Up Challenge” and the “Monster Creations” Challenge. Wanted to do something new so this year for Halloween we focused on JUMP SCARES!
So after going over rules, I told my kiddos that we would be building haunted houses. Or haunted hotels, haunted libraries, haunted…whatever. The challenge is about making a moving element (or “boo”ving element) speicifically designed to scare a minifig, or some sort of interactive element like you would on a larger Lego set you would buy. I called it a jump scare, but really it’s just a surprise built into the design. Most kids put this into their builds naturally, so this was just a way to either incentivize it or direct it.
The photos don’t really do this one justice because these pictures are obviously stationary, so my YouTube video linked above will show the movement of everyone’s piece. This is one that almost everyone got into and had some sort of movement or interactivity to their piece, so I highly recommend it. So sharing at the end was extra fun.
Like I said I did this for Halloween, but really you could do it year round. You can reframe it more as an attraction at an amusement park like “The Haunted Mansion.”
Hope you like this one. Thanks for reading!
