Jenga Language Review

Jenga Review Game
The Jenga party game can be used as a review game in the language classroom. Students work in groups of 4-5 (or smaller) to complete the game, and I have found that 15-20 minutes is usually enough to complete the task (or at least many of the questions).

To prepare:
-Purchase Jenga sets (available on Amazon or elsewhere)
-Number each wooden piece in the set with a Sharpie (1-54).
-Make a list of 54 questions/tasks that you want students to complete. This could be a mix of the following (among others): answer a question (what's the weather like today, what do you wear when it is cold out, what's your name, etc), conjugate a verb, translate a word, finish a sentence.
-Make a list of the 54 answers (or possible answers).
-Make a copy of the questions and answers for each student (front and back of the page).

Playing the game:
-Have students choose their partners or number off to form groups.
-Explain that students will play the game of Jenga but with one added step: before they can place their chosen wooden piece back on the tower, they must answer the question that corresponds to the number on their piece. They must say the number in French and read the question before providing their answer.
-Students are encouraged to work out the answer with their group if they are not sure and to only use the answer key to check their answers.

Students can then keep the list of questions and answers to study for the exam.
