What you’ll build
Pick one value your city stands for and turn it into a giant monument on a strict block budget. Let a family member guess its meaning with no clues, draft a plaque and cut it down to 25 words, then put it on display and reveal whether the guess was right.
Finish line: Your giant monument stands within budget, a guessing game is played and a 25-word plaque reveals its meaning.
Bonus challenge: Light it up so it glows over the city at night, and squeeze the plaque into a 10-word version. What did you have to keep?
You’ll need
- Building blocks (500 max)
- Signs
- A family member to guess
You choose
- What my giant stands for
- The giant is a: hero / creature / object / shape
- Its name
Stuck?
- Over budget? Count as you build. Hollow shapes save lots of blocks.
- Plaque won't fit? Signs hold only a few lines, so you may need several side by side.
- Cutting words? Keep the ones that carry the meaning and drop fillers like "very" and "really".
