Building blocks for the future

Could your company benefit from a stimulating experience? Does your team ever get a chance to express themselves openly? Want to have fun? These highly interactive sessions are structured to inspire and develop attendees to think creatively, reason systematically, and in turn release their potential – building blocks for the future if you will!

Once briefed on the subject of their films, its over to the teams to decide whether they would like to do a short film, documentary, music video, comedy sketch, promotional video or advertisement. Planning their storyboards, the team must then assign roles to their team, deciding who will be the Director, who will be in charge of building the sets, filming, sound, voice acting / voice overs and editing. With access to our extensive collection of Lego scenery, characters and props, and armed with tripods, lighting and microphone booms, it’s time for the teams to get creative and film their work.

Once the films are ‘in the can’, teams can edit, zoom, cut, and add film effects such as black and white or speed settings using pre-installed apps. Choosing from a bank of sound effects and music, teams can also create their soundtrack.

As a fun finale, everyone gets to watch each other’s work on a large screen, with the winning team receiving their prizes in an awards ceremony. Spot prizes can also be awarded for categories such as ‘Best set design’, ‘Best editing’ and ‘Best voice overs.’

LEGO Making Team Building Activity FAQs

 

What is the LEGO animation workshop?

Our LEGO animation workshop is a creative team building experience that challenges your colleagues to plan, build, film, and edit their very own production. Combining imagination, communication, and plenty of hands-on fun, it is an excellent choice for businesses searching for fun corporate events that encourage their employees to work together in a refreshingly different way.

How does the LEGO making team building activity work?

Your team will receive a briefing before deciding what type of film to produce. This could be a short film, documentary, music video, comedy sketch, promotional video, or advertisement.

From developing the initial idea to completing the final edit, everyone has an opportunity to contribute.

As one of our most creative company team building activities, the workshop provides a clear objective while giving your team plenty of freedom to express their personalities.

How long does the LEGO animation workshop last?

The activity typically lasts between two and four hours. This provides enough time for your team to plan its production, build sets, film scenes, and complete the editing process before enjoying the final screening and awards.

The flexible format makes the workshop particularly suitable for businesses looking for fun corporate events that can fit comfortably into a meeting, conference, or dedicated team building day.

How many participants do you recommend?

We recommend the LEGO animation workshop for groups of 10 to 100 participants. Teams can work simultaneously on their individual productions, making this an engaging option for both smaller departments and larger company groups.

If you’re comparing the company team building activities for different group sizes which we have available, this workshop offers an adaptable format that keeps everyone involved.

Is the LEGO animation workshop held indoors?

The LEGO making team building activity takes place indoors, making it a dependable choice throughout the year. You will not need to worry about rain, wind, or unpredictable weather affecting your plans.

This makes the experience particularly useful for companies arranging fun corporate events where comfort and reliable scheduling are priorities.

What types of films can your team create?

Your team can choose from a wide variety of formats, including short films, documentaries, music videos, comedy sketches, promotional films, and advertisements. This flexibility allows participants to take an idea in a direction that suits their collective creativity and sense of humour.

There is no single formula to follow, which is exactly what makes this one of our most imaginative company team building activities.

What roles will participants take on?

Your team will decide how to divide the responsibilities involved in producing their film. Roles can include Director, set builders, camera operators, sound technicians, voice actors, and editors.

Having different responsibilities encourages participants to recognise one another’s strengths, communicate effectively, and work towards a shared result. It also gives people who may not usually work closely together a natural reason to collaborate.

Do participants need filmmaking experience?

No previous filmmaking experience is required. The experience is designed as an accessible and entertaining team activity rather than a test of professional production skills.

Your colleagues can concentrate on experimenting, sharing ideas, and creating something together, making it an approachable option when you need fun corporate events suitable for a varied workforce.

What equipment is provided for the workshop?

Your team will have access to our extensive collection of LEGO scenery, characters, and props, alongside the equipment needed to bring their ideas to life. Tripods, lighting, and microphone booms help teams create their productions and enjoy the filmmaking experience.

Can your team edit its finished film?

Once filming is complete, your team can edit its production using pre-installed apps. Participants can cut and zoom footage, experiment with speed settings, and add effects such as black and white colour-grading.

Teams can also choose from a bank of music and sound effects to develop their soundtrack, adding another creative dimension to the finished production.

What happens at the end of the activity?

The finale gives everyone the chance to sit back and enjoy the films on a large screen. It is a brilliant opportunity to see how differently each team approached the same creative challenge and celebrate what everyone has achieved.

The winning team receives prizes during an awards ceremony, bringing some friendly competition to one of our most entertaining company team building activities.

Are there awards for individual achievements?

Spot prizes can be awarded in categories such as ‘Best Set Design’, ‘Best Editing’, and ‘Best Voice Overs’. These additional awards provide more opportunities to recognise the creativity, technical skills, and memorable contributions of your team.

The ceremony also gives the event a satisfying conclusion and adds to the atmosphere expected from the fun corporate events we host at Firebird Events.

What team building skills can the workshop encourage?

The session is structured to encourage creative thinking, systematic reasoning, communication, planning, and collaboration. Producing a film requires your team to exchange ideas, make decisions, allocate responsibilities, and solve problems together.

For organisations wanting company team building activities with more substance than a simple social get-together, the workshop combines purposeful teamwork with an entertaining creative challenge.

Why choose a LEGO animation workshop for your next corporate event?

The LEGO animation workshop we host brings together creativity, communication, laughter, and friendly competition in one highly interactive experience. Rather than simply watching or listening, your colleagues become filmmakers, storytellers, set designers, and performers.

If you want fun corporate events that give your colleagues something genuinely memorable to create and share, this workshop is a fantastic choice. It offers the ingredients of effective company team building activities while ensuring that having fun remains firmly at the heart of the experience.
