Free Lego Games Online
Every child or grown-up has heard or used some Lego in his life. Lego is a line of construction toys, made by the Lego Group, a company from Denmark. The Lego products consists of very colorful pieces that can be combined with each other to make buildings, structures and many kinds of cool things. The small pieces may be accompanied by other items such as gears and tools or minifigures. No matter what you are building, you can always dissemble the pieces after that, and use them to build something else. Or if you really like what you have build, you can leave it that way and make a new figure with other pieces. The Lego toys first appeared a long time ago, back in the 1930’s in Europe, and slowly they taken over the whole world. There are not just Lego toys, but you can also find Lego movies, games, competitions and even amusement parks with the theme Lego.

In this article we are going to talk about some of the free Lego games online. You can find some on other sites too, but if you don’t want to waste time searching for them, just go on lego.com, at the “play” section. The free games that you will find here are divided into 5 categories : action, creative, exclusive, preschool and puzzle games.

Now let’s take a game from each category, play it and then discuss it. For an action game we’ll choose the one called “Cave convoy”. Here you will have to take your Lego power miners vehicles on a rock-busting , crystal collecting journey through hidden caves below the surface of the Earth. Your goal is to avoid obstacles and rock monsters while steering your vehicles over crystals. Use the mouse to control each vehicle and click on the up/down buttons around each vehicle to change the vehicle’s location. Each power miners vehicle has a special function, so click on the arrow at the front of the vehicle to activate it. For example the Thunder driller breaks through walls and barriers and it’s special ability is to make tunnels underneath obstacles. The Crystal Sweeper knocks out rock monsters and destroys all obstacles in his path. And finally the Claw Digger smashes rocks in his path and bashes through any kind of obstacle. When clicking on an obstacle(other than a pit) you will destroy it with dynamite (if you have it of course). You will be able to purchase dynamite and other items between the missions. When a vehicle hits and obstacle it will take damage. If you have a repair kit, the vehicle will repair automatically, and if you don’t you will lose that vehicle. The further you advance in the game, the more vehicles you will control, and the more territory you will cover. So keep playing until you ran out of vehicles. Good luck!

Now let’s take a game from the Creative category, and we’ll choose the Lego digital designer. This is a game where you will be able to build with Lego bricks on your own computer. So it is not even necessary to buy some real Lego bricks to build something, because you can simply play this game. Of course the real thing is much more fun, but you can try this game too. This one is a little bigger and more complex than a simple flash game, so it requires download. But don’t worry because the installation doesn’t take so long, and then you will be able to make all kinds of interesting things with the Lego pieces.

In the “exclusive” games category there are just 2 games: The city train game and the Brick game. So let’s try the first one. First you can choose between classical and modern trains. In the game you will have to use just the arrow keys to control the train. The game is very similar to the classic “Snake” game. Your train will be just like a snake that moves across the screen in all the directions, and you will have to collect passengers. For each passenger that you collect the path behind your train will get bigger and bigger making the train more difficult to control. Collect as many passengers as you can! The game is over when you hit into one of the margins, or when you hit with yourself (when you have a very long train). So good luck!

Let’s play another train game, but this time one from the “Preschool” category. We’ll choose the one called “Duplo train driver”. First you also have to choose the type of train, between passenger or a cargo train. Then type your name. Since this game is for kids, it is very simple. First you will have to click on the train to get it started. Along the way he will face some obstacles in the road, and you will be given three options to choose from. For example what should you place over a river? A barrier, a bridge or a piece of rail? Just click on the item that you consider to be correct. After that there will be more other fun activities, from where your child will learn many useful things about trains and railroads.

And now the last category of games from the site, the Puzzle games. Let’s play the Turbo tracks. The race is about to start and it is up to you to make sure the Lego racer reaches the finish line safely! The track has been shuffled and only you can fix it. The object of this game is to use the track tiles to connect the start and finish line. This is done by using the mouse to select and click on a tile. Each click will rotate the tile one-quarter turn. Also keep an eye on the timer! As soon as the time runs out, the Lego race will begin, whether if you are ready or not. If the track is correctly set, the racer will reach the finish line and you can go to the next level. If the puzzle is not completed in time, the racer will run into the wall. Of course, if you complete the puzzle early, just hit the Start button to begin the race before the time runs out. This will give you bonus points. Good luck!
We presented just one game from each category, but there are also others in each category. So if you have time, and if you are a fan of Lego toys, try them all! Have fun!
