Batman vs. Superman LEGO Math Games

Super Hero LEGO week continues with Batman vs. Superman LEGO math games. Practice comparing numbers, addition, and subtraction with these super fun ideas. Our Super Hero LEGO sets were given to us by LEGO. You can read more about the Super Hero LEGO here. Affiliate links are included in this post.

What You’ll Need:

DUPLO LEGO bricks- We used 12 for each super hero.
Batman and Superman – Ours are the DUPLO figures from this Batman Adventure set(affiliate link)
Number cards – We like to use Skip Bo cards (affiliate link) – they have the numbers 1-12. You could also just make your own.

Batman and Superman are in a battle to see who has the highest tower. Have each super hero draw a number card.

Then, build a tower with as many blocks as the number drawn. Who has the taller tower? How many blocks higher is Batman’s tower?

Draw new cards. Who wins this round? How many blocks did you have to add or subtract to get the new number of blocks?

Keep drawing numbers and adding or subtracting blocks. Aiden (age 6) and I played through the deck of cards twice. He thought it was super cool to build the taller tower and see Batman win.

Help Superman Rescue the Cat

What You’ll Need:

DUPLO LEGO bricks- We used 10 for this game.
Superman (or any flying super hero)
Cat (or something else to rescue)
1 Die

To start, you’ll need to build a tower of 10 bricks. Place the cat on top of the tower. The goal is for Superman to fly up to the top of the tower and rescue the cat by adding numbers to 10.

Roll the die. This represents how many bricks high Superman can fly.

For example, if you roll a 6, have Superman fly up 6 bricks. Now how many more bricks does Superman need to fly up to reach the cat?

In our example, he needs to fly up 4 more bricks because 6+4=10.

Rescue the cat and play again. Aiden liked this game well enough, but he much preferred the Batman vs. Superman game.
