Roll to Build
This is a dice game where players roll dice in order to choose legos to build with. When it is a players turn, they roll all six dice. There are six bags with different legos inside. Each bag has a number on the outside. Whatever number is rolled on the dice corresponds with the bag. That player takes one piece out of each bag with the corresponding numbers they rolled. Then they must build something out of those lego pieces. Each player does the same thing. Once everyone builds something, everyone votes on whose sculpture is best.

When a player gets in trouble by the teacher, they are given a warning. After three warnings, that player is sent to detention and is eliminated. Whoever makes it through the full day and has the least amount of warning cards wins the game.
I really enjoy the “Build Your Sentence” idea. I feel like it could be fun as well as very challenging. It could last a long time and it’s good that there is a goal in the ending.
I think roll to build is a fun idea. It conjures up memories of a failed speech i once tried to do in a high school public-speaking class. The result was a random pile of legos, but if I’d done that on purpose, I can imagine it would be a lot of fun, especially competetively.
Ice Cream Scoops seems like a potential fun game for families to play with very young children. The stacking of ice cream in a bowl could make it more visually appealing to them than a typical board game. What kind of tasks would need to be completed to get an ice cream scoop?
