10 minutes: orient
Show how to place a block, rotate the playfield, change views, and undo a choice.
45–60 minute activity outline
From guided building to an original creation
20 minutes: follow
Begin a guided build. Ask participants to predict how each section will support the next.
20 minutes: invent
Move to free play or remix the guided model with a constraint: limited colors, a theme, or a maximum footprint.
Facilitator checklist
Prepare the activity, not a lecture
- Confirm devices can open and run Blokify before the session.
- Choose whether participants will use guided mode, free play, or both.
- Decide how work will be saved and whether community sharing is part of the activity.
- If printing, test one export and slicer workflow in advance.
- Budget printer time separately; a digital showcase can happen immediately.
Challenge prompts
Three quick ways to start
- Castle: build the strongest-looking gate with a limited number of blocks.
- Space: design a base that could protect explorers from a storm.
- City: create one structure that makes a neighborhood more fun.
