FIRST^® LEGO^® League Discover Class Pack

Vocabulary Words

Each FIRST LEGO League Discover Class Pack session has vocabulary words that align with the season theme and content in that session. Consider having students create a small visual dictionary together. Independently or as a group, they can write the word, talk about its definition, and draw a picture of the word.

Storytelling Using Your Team Model

Once your entire team model has been created, more learning can still be explored with students. Have them look at the parts of the model and see if they can work together to write a story about the LEGO^® Minifigures and elements they have made. 

Consider these prompts for your students:

✏️ If you were to perform on stage, what would the show have in it?

✏️ You are selected to stay the night in a museum, what happens after dark?

✏️ Write a backstory for one of the LEGO Minifigures — who are they, and what are their hobbies? 

Storytelling can help improve language and communication skills, creativity, and computational thinking!

Effective Presentation Skills

Sharing what they have learned throughout the FIRST LEGO League season is a huge part of the student experience. Presenting can be nerve-racking but there are small things students can practice to improve their skills!

🗣️ Encourage them to have fun and be engaging in their presentation like performing a skit.  

🎨 Add visuals to a presentation can make it memorable.

👀 Eye contact can be very important, but students can start by looking at a point above the audience rather than their faces.
