Build a giant monument, let others guess its meaning, then write a plaque.

The city needs a giant everyone will remember… and a plaque that says it all in just 25 words.

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".
