Despite the bad reputation that toys and games in general gain from wasting time and their negative impact on the educational level, building and block games, such as the majority of “Lego” games, are considered highly effective educational tools as they develop a lot of activities, cognitive and language skills that are directly reflected in the ability of educational children and their achievement of success in school. Where the Danish company “Lego” provides hundreds of games that suit all age groups of children, from children in their first and second years to adolescents over the age of twelve, and the games vary according to the level of complexity and basic skills that focus on their development in the child, for example, games suitable for one or two years old children develop fine acting skills. Basic building games are suitable for children between the ages of 3 and 5 and focus on introducing children to a new challenge through easy-to-build construction strategies that develop their creativity. While the games, suitable for children between the ages of 6 and 8, focus on enhancing imagination and creativity by throwing children deep into a world of imaginative games in which they can create their own stories, and rebuild and bring to life their favorite fictional characters. While the games aimed at older children between 9 and 11 years old focus on teaching children more patience and perseverance and enhancing their sense of achievement. More advanced games aimed at children over the age of 12, such as the LEGO Architecture collection, focus on inspiring teens by challenging and enhancing their engineering skills while giving them glimpses of the real world through games. There is no doubt that Lego games in general play a pivotal role in enhancing planning skills and developing problem-solving skills thanks to the different pieces that provide various options for creating designs and models. Psychologists identify two main types of problems: Convergence and divergence problems
Convergent problems are well defined and characterized by having one expected solution in contrast to divergent problems that can be solved in multiple ways, and since building games can be grouped in several ways, they are divergent problems, unlike puzzle games, for example, that require a specific way to solve. When it comes to creativity, “Lego” games deservedly outperform most other games thanks to the free play state that they provide, as each “Lego” game comes with instructions for using these pieces to build different models and figures, also the parents can hide building instructions from their children, and give them complete freedom to unleash their creativity and use their imagination to create the designs they want and learn through trial and error, without restrictions on their creativity and no limits to what they can build, which is reflected in the promotion of imagination and the development of creativity.
