The "GLSEN LEGO Six Bricks Resource Guide" is a collaborative effort by GLSEN and the LEGO Group to promote inclusive and supportive classroom environments through play. The guide introduces a series of activities using LEGO's Six Bricks, designed to enhance physical, social, emotional, cognitive, and creative skills among elementary school students. It emphasizes accessibility, ensuring that activities can be adjusted to meet the unique needs of all students, including those with disabilities or color blindness. The guide integrates LGBTQ+ inclusive principles, aiming to foster acceptance, empathy, and teamwork to combat bullying and discrimination. Each activity is carefully structured with clear objectives, instructions, and guiding questions to facilitate reflection and discussion, ultimately contributing to a classroom culture that values diversity and inclusion.
