Why Lego
Lego is a great tool for young minds to learn fine motor skills, creativity, and co-operation. Using imagination a world of possibility opens up, and through persistence, a sense of accomplishment is achieved.
As four square walls, homes are often some of the easiest and earliest models that we build, representing a core concept of safety and security.
Those affected by homelessness take a similar journey to recover from crisis. Overcoming challenges and overwhelming obstacles, Aberdeen Cyrenians helps people rebuild their lives, giving hope and support to build strong foundations of home. With your help, we can support people in crisis by building resilience to recover and thrive, and make change to accomplish their goals.
So, what’s a short amount of discomfort compared to the fear, danger and destruction of homelessness? If we can do it, so can you.
Safety Tips for your Lego Walk:
Lay out all your Lego in a line and contain it with barriers at either side – as shown in our video.
You can keep your socks on or be really brave and go barefoot! It’s up to you.
If you need, ask someone to stand near you to help keep you balanced.
Take a nice deep breath, making sure you’re relaxed and ready for the challenge.
Walk very slowly – take small steps and walk with a flat foot.
Once you have completed the walk, lift your feet up one at a time and brush the Lego pieces off before stepping away.
Tag us in your photos/videos and celebrate your achievement – you completed it! You’ll never have to fear stepping on those little pieces again, because now you know you can beat them.
