One of my new favorite obsessions is using Jenga in the classroom to review and spiral concepts. Over the past year or so, I have been creating several games that are perfect if you want to incorporate Jenga in your classroom and they are all free! On this post, I will share brief descriptions and links to each one.

What do you think about using Jenga in the classroom? Is this something you do already? Let me know in the comments!
I have used Jenga for Chemical equations review with my Grade 10 students and they absolutely love it.
Do you have more than one set of the Jenga blocks? Do students work in small groups or whole class?
I have been using this for a math camp with incoming 3rd and 4th graders and they are loving it. Great investment that allows kids to have fun while learning.
I love using Jenga! Do you have any activities for 3rd grade?
I have never used Jenga in the classroom, but it sounds fascinating. HOW do I get it free?

These games look wonderful! I can hardly wait to try them..
Any way this can be done to include Powers of 10 and metric conversions?
I am unable to access the link to the activites for Jenga. Are they still available?
Hey, which one are you having trouble accessing? Sometime the links can be glitchy on iPhones. You can try opening from computer or opening in a new tab from your iPhone. Let me know if this doesnt work for you!
I am also trying to access the linked materials and none of the pages will load for me. I get redirected to a page that says Error 404.
Hey Beth, we are having a tech issue with our links not redirecting correctly. I have gone in and manually corrected the links on this post, and they should all work for you now. Thanks for letting me know!
Sorry about that error! The links have all been fixed now.
