Host A LEGO Challenge
Organise a LEGO challenge with your family or friends to make building even more fun and competitive.

Next, decide on a theme to make the challenge have a set goal.
Deciding on a theme will help give the participants ideas on what to aim for, it could be animal, space, medieval and many more - the possibilities are endless! And finally, decide on a winner, whose build is detailed and most unique.

LEGO Movie Marathon
In recent years, LEGO has branched out into the film industry. The company has released plenty of laugh-out-loud hits in the LEGO cinematic universe. So we suggest hosting a LEGO movie marathon featuring all your favourite LEGO movies.
Released in 2017, The LEGO Batman Movie is full of hilarious moments that will keep you laughing the whole time you are watching. The plot follows Batman, Robin and Barbara Gordan working together to foil The Joker's plans to take over Gotham City. With a star-studded cast, it’s a must-watch for all the family.

The LEGO Movie and its sequel, The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part, are instant classics. They allow anyone watching to relive their childhood memories, featuring a plot that could take place with any LEGO figures. Watching these two movies back to back in your marathon will be sure to bring a smile.

A final film you could add to your marathon list is the LEGO Ninjago Movie. The plot follows Lloyd, a young master builder, and his friends who are secret ninja warriors being led by Master Wu, fighting against the villainous Garmadon. Whilst also having a great deal of comedy, the film has an awesome LEGO action set to bring excitement to those who watch it.

All these movies above would make a great addition to your marathon. And with plenty of LEGO movies, there's something for everyone.
Whether you are building a masterpiece, hosting a thrilling challenge or sitting down to watch a hilarious movie, we are sure whatever you choose to do this International LEGO day will make the day one to remember.
