Playing Jenga is straightforward and quick—far less time-consuming than a game of Monopoly. We experimented with a creative variation and it turned out great. The idea is simple: label each block with a number, then either assign a small task (like five push-ups or chirping like a bird) or gather 54 get-to-know-you questions from the internet and answer them as you play.
The Jenga Icebreaker Game
What You’ll Need
- A marker or pen
- Round adhesive dots
- A list of 54 icebreaker questions or mini challenges
How to Play
- Search online for “get to know you” questions and compile 54 of them (matching the number of Jenga blocks).
- Attach adhesive dots to each block and write numbers from 1 to 54.
- Play standard Jenga, but whenever someone removes a block, they must read and respond to the matching question or perform the assigned task.
