Summary/Abstract: This paper is the ‘ruminating narrative’ of a recent workshop exploring co-design using LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®. Its aim is to offer a discussion of co-design and play, a workshop outline, and observations on how LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®, co-design and play and creativity inter-relate. The author’s reflections on this particular event are rooted in, and distilled from, her wider work using LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® and with play and creativity more generally. She also revisits her work with Stephen Brookfield on creative, critical reflection (2014) and relates this to the reflective practices embodied in the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method. The author concludes by pulling together the commonalities between play, LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® and co-design.
