SERIOUS PLAY®️ for Seniors

Our Senior Adult population is more active than ever and seeking fun, mentally stimulating activities.  Bricks 4 Connection is a new way to use LEGO®️ bricks to help Senior Adults make connections in their own brain and new connections with their family and friends. In our workshop we challenge participants to build an answer to a question and then explain the model to the group. After that the models can be used to see connections between people in the group or to generate new thinking on the topic. No building skills or previous love of LEGO®️ bricks is needed. We use the bricks as metaphors for real life feelings, experiences, and dreams. The words LEGO®️ and play reflect the fun we will have, and “serious” lets you know there is a purpose to our play.

We are developing 1 and 2-hour Bricks 4 Connection workshops for Senior adults to enjoy expressing themselves in a new way.  Any time you are building a 3-D model, you activate more of your brain than with words alone.  While we are having fun and getting to know each other’s hopes and dreams, our brains are getting a “healthy workout” while we are having fun with friends.   We provide trained facilitators and all the bricks needed for programs for individuals, families, and small or large groups.
