Explore the fascinating world of animal habitats with our engaging KS1 Animal Habitats LEGO workshop. This hands-on school workshop allows children to discover and learn about the various animal groups, different types of habitats and the animals that live in them through creative LEGO building activities.

In our KS1 Animal Habitats workshop, students will understand the concept of habitats and their importance to animals. They will identify various types of habitats such as forests, deserts, and oceans, and the animals that live in each.

Students will learn about different animal groups and how these groups are associated with specific habitats. Additionally, they will explore how animals adapt to their habitats for survival, enhancing their knowledge through interactive and creative LEGO building activities.

By the end of this KS1 workshop, students will be able to define and describe various animal habitats and their importance. They will identify specific animals, classify them into different animal groups, and explain how these animals are adapted to their environments.

Additionally, students will demonstrate their understanding of animal groups and habitats by building a LEGO model of an animal and its corresponding habitat.

Introduction to Habitats and Animal Groups: A brief discussion on what habitats are, the different animal groups, and why they are crucial for animals.

Exploring Different Habitats and Animal Groups: Interactive visual presentation exploring various habitats, the animals that live in them, and the different animal groups.

LEGO Building Challenge Part 1: Children choose an animal to build with LEGO bricks and identify its animal group.

LEGO Building Challenge Part 2: Children build a LEGO habitat for their chosen animal, incorporating features that support the animal’s survival.

Presentation and Discussion: Each group presents their LEGO animal and habitat, explaining the choices they made and how their animal is adapted to its environment. We encourage Teachers to take photos of the students finished models before we complete a reset of the LEGO at the end of the session.

Our Animal Habitats LEGO Building Workshop is a 75-minute session packed with immersive, hands-on learning. We start with an engaging visual presentation that introduces various animal habitats and groups, exploring key facts and adaptations. This sets the stage for an exciting LEGO building challenge where children first construct an animal and then create a corresponding habitat, focusing on essential survival features.

We conclude the workshop by reviewing the children’s creations, summarising the key lessons learned, and encouraging teachers to capture photos of the LEGO masterpieces. This workshop not only educates but also inspires creativity and critical thinking through playful construction.
