Set of blocks for construction game

Abstract

A set of blocks for constructing game assemblies for children includes basic block members ( 10 ) and complementary block members ( 11 ) that can be magnetically anchored and assembled each other; each basic block member ( 10 ) has a hollow body ( 18 ) including lateral faces having flat and/or shaped coupling surfaces. In turn, the complementary block members ( 11 ) include a hollow body ( 16 ) having lateral coupling surfaces matching with the coupling surfaces of the basic block members ( 10 ). Magnetic elements ( 14, 20 ) are fixedly or movably positioned in each basic and complementary block member ( 10, 11 ) to enable the anchorage and the assembling of the block members ( 10, 11 ) during the construction of the game. The block members ( 10, 11 ) have dimensions suitable to be easily gripped with the hands by a children, and may be provided with differently coloured surfaces to offer different tactile, visual and sound sensations during the game.
