Brick Club

Brick‑by‑Brick® LEGO® Therapy Group

Certified Brick-by-Brick® Facilitator

Therapy-Animal Supported Groups

At Engage Playfully, we believe all children deserve opportunities to have fun, make friends, and build their social and emotional well-being in a safe, supportive environment. Many children benefit from extra guidance to develop communication, collaboration, flexible thinking, and problem‑solving skills, and Brick Club provides exactly that. Brick Club is delivered by a Certified Brick‑by‑Brick® Facilitator and includes the calming, regulating presence of our therapy animals, who support connection, confidence, and emotional safety throughout the group.

What is Brick Club?

Brick Club is a structured, playful social‑development group where children work together to build LEGO® models using the Brick‑by‑Brick® programme created by Play Included. Children take on rotating roles – Engineer, Supplier, Builder, and collaborate to complete a shared build. This collaborative process supports:

Joint decision-making

Communication and listening skills

Social interaction and teamwork

Emotional regulation

Creativity and imagination

Problem-solving and flexible thinking

A sense of belonging and community

Over time, children build confidence, friendships, and meaningful social connections through their shared interest in LEGO®.
