Giant Jenga

Giant Jenga is played almost the same way as regular Jenga, just on a much bigger scale and usually outdoors.

You start by setting up the tower. Stack the wooden blocks in layers of three, with each layer turned 90 degrees from the one below it. Make sure the surface is flat and the tower is straight before starting.

Players take turns going one at a time. On your turn, you remove one block from anywhere below the highest completed layer. You can only use one hand to touch or pull blocks, and once you let go of a block, you can’t change your mind.

After you remove a block, you place it neatly on top of the tower, again using one hand. Try to keep it centered and stable.

The goal is to avoid knocking the tower over. The game continues until the tower falls. The player who causes it to fall loses, and everyone else wins.

A few common house rules people use: no moving blocks from the top three layers, no holding the tower steady with your other hand, and sometimes a time limit per turn to keep the game moving.
