11+ Build-Your-Own LEGO Carnival Games with Instructions!

We love STEM activities, and when I realized we could try doing carnival STEM activities, I knew we were on to something.

Today’s projects are all engineering themed and help kids explore the engineering and design side of the carnival by creating their own carnival games.

These LEGO carnival games use LEGO bricks to construct miniature or life-size versions of classic carnival games.

So much fun for kids in elementary and middle school, and I bet you’ll enjoy it, too!

Build your own carnival games! These LEGO carnival games show kids the engineering behind classic carnival games. Fun engineering for kids!

Build-Your Own LEGO Carnival Games for Kids

Trust me, you don’t have to be a LEGO-building expert to make most of the carnival games on this list! Most of these LEGO carnival activities can be made with everyday bricks and kids can help engineer them on their own.

Making carnival games from LEGO is a fun way to bring engineering into the classroom with a carnival twist!

Supplies for LEGO Carnival Games
