Abstract: Construction planning is vital to civil engineering projects, involving task coordination, resource estimation, and risk assessment. Traditional educational methods in Engineering management courses frequently lack real-world feedback, hindering understanding of students. To bridge this gap, this study aims to propose an educational approach called "Lego Construction Scheduling" activity. Students simulate planning decisions for a 'Lego' project, which they then execute in class. This technique replicates the entire learning cycle in real-world building projects, allowing students to evaluate their actions and learn from the results. The rules and procedures of the "Lego Construction Scheduling" game are outlined. This study is expected to improve the understanding and implementation of building planning ideas, closing the gap between theory and reality. The "Lego Construction Scheduling" game will be an innovative educational tool in Construction Management courses to develop essential planning skills and better understand construction project management.
