How to Talk About Lego in English

Don’t forget to download the printable poster pdf at the bottom of this post. You can stick it in your home where your child plays with Lego and use it to prompt you to teach this vocabulary to your child while they are playing.

We can use the verbs: build, make, connect and construct.

“Let’s build a helicopter.”

“Can you make a spaceship?”

“Connect the long bricks.”

“You are constructing a tall building.”

In the UK we say Lego as the plural form. In American English, the plural is usually Legos.

We call the individual pieces ‘bricks’.

We can click the bricks together.

Phrasal verb: click together

After building something, we can take it apart or break it up.

Phrasal verbs: to take apart, to break up.
