Who doesn’t enjoy building with LEGOs? This year’s mutual theme “Peace in Christ” is an important one to learn! This activity builds a Lego temple, piece by piece, as quotes or scriptures are read and discussed about the peace of Christ.
Using these Lego pieces the youth have the option of building three different styles of temples.
1 – 6×8 green plate
6 – 2×8 white bricks
2 – 2×4 white bricks
2 – 1x2x5 white brick
1 – 2x2x2 white nose cone
1 – 1×1 yellow round brick
Boston Lego Temple
Denver Colorado Lego Temple
Mount Timpanogos Lego Temple
Each piece is put in a numbered bag. Going in order the youth read the scripture or quote and discussion questions included with their piece. After the brief discussion the Lego piece is added per the instructions (included in the download).
Throughout the activity the youth will have learned the difference between the peace of men versus the Peace of God, where to look for and how to obtain that peace, and how to help others find the peace of Christ.
This lesson was created for each ward in our stake to use as a backup plan when one of their mutual night activities falls through. Only one temple has been provided for each ward. If you are doing it for your ward and have the funds it would be great to have a temple for each one of the youth to build and take home as a reminder! I special ordered the pieces from the Pick a Brick Lego Shop. With shipping it cost about $36 for pieces for 6 temples, so about $6 per temple.

Thank you so much for this great activity! We are going to do it for Primary Activity Days/Girls, they’re going to love it, I mean, who doesn’t love legos???
All of my grands live a couple of hours or more away, and they love Lego’s. I am thinking they probably have the pieces they will need in their many bins of Lego’s. Will you send me the download? Thanks 😊
I can’t get this to download. Will you send me an email please? Thank you!!!
Did you see the link below the download button to all the files in a Google Drive? You should be able to access them all here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Cmhw104s3O-OGRVLQfCS2HKnIFpI_rWa
I absolutely love this. Could I also please get a copy!
Thank you for this great idea!!! I’m using it for our Temple & Priesthood Preparation Meeting. I have different quotes that go along with our speakers. I think it’s going to be a great hands-on experience for our 11 year olds.
I just went to a Bricks and mini figs shop and it ended up being $50 to make 7 temples (plus an hour of digging) so I think the website is much more cost effective. I just didn’t have 5 business days to wait.
I’m going to try to figure out a Gilbert AZ Temple for our SNAP program. Unless someone else has already figured it out
Where did you get the Lego pieces??
