Lego's

For class on Monday we were asked to bring in ideas about the different games that we discussed in class last Wednesday. Out of all the games that were discussed I knew immediately that I wanted to play Legos. As a child Legos were considered a boy game, so I never really got the chance to play with them growing up unless I was at a friends house. The instance we were allowed to play with the games in class I grabbed hand  full after hand full of various Lego's. I just started to make a staircase with various pieces, that is what makes Lego's so much fun to me you get to see which pieces fit together and make something really cool! Lacy actually came up to me during my building and asked what I was creating, but honestly I did not know. Then we got into a discussion about how they are making Lego's for girls but they are based solely on work or jobs that they can have, which made me made because boys get the ones where they are allowed to create whatever comes to their minds.

I able to connect really this activity to the HOMAGE category "Messing Around", because of the topic of interest driven activities. When you are given a big box of Lego's you automatically know what you are planning to create and from then on you fixate on that idea. Usually your "idea" is interest driven because people want to relate everything they do back to their favorite interests or activities.
