Get-To-Know-You Jenga Game
  

Get-To-Know-You Jenga Game

As a fun ice breaker, I made this D.I.Y. "Get-To-Know-You" Jenga game for our first activity with the girls (ages 8-11) at church! I've included the list of prompts or questions that I used, to help you get started if you'd like to make your own- it makes a great party game!

How to Make Your Get-to-Know-You Jenga Game:



You'll need the following:

A Jenga game (I found a smaller, $3 version at a dollar store)
A marker
A list of get-to-know-you questions or prompts (see below)

...and that's it!

Just write the prompts on the wood pieces and have the players answer the question on the piece they remove on their turn.

Jenga Question Game

It added some extra excitement to do the regular old Jenga game with questions- it just spiced it up enough to have the girls more excited, AND gave them the opportunity to learn about each other in a fun way.

Here's a list of the get-to-know-you game questions and prompts I used for our Jenga question game:

  10. Oh my what a absolutely great idea! My now son in law made 2X4 jenga pieces for their outdoor engagement party. On the pieces he put trivia about himself & our daughter. It was a big hit at the BBQ.

    1. That's awesome! I had a "cousin-in-law" who had a giant Jenga game at his reception! :) I don't think it involved trivia though- that's a good idea!

  11. Especially for tween girls who may not want to tell much about themselves, this is a great way for them to share about who they are with others.

  16. I can't believe you found this game at the dollar store because I just bought it from Amazon and thought I got a deal paying 9.60 + tx. Now I feel like I lost my bargain but I'll know for the future because I bought it and many other toys for a Christmas charity that I donate to every year. Live and learn !

    1. Debbie, you probably got the regular version of Jenga. The one I bought at the dollar store is a mini version (it works fine, but it's not the "real thing").
