-student work page with fill in the blank color spaces (in case your jenga set has different colors!)
-Answer key
Directions
Students will play game in groups of 3-5
1.Player “A” decides which colored block they would like to remove from the jenga tower.
2. The player will find the section on the paper that has the same color listed as the block chosen. Player “A” must complete the next available question in that section. As the player solves the problem, they need to verbally say the steps they are taking out loud.
3. If everyone in the group agrees with the answer, Player “A” will go check that their answer is correct (either with a teacher or the answer key).
4. If the answer is correct, Player “A” will remove the block from the jenga tower and the game will continue with the next player’s turn. If the answer is incorrect, Player “A” must erase their work and the next player will start their turn.
If the tower falls players can rebuild and continue the game.
If the players run out of questions for a specific color, they can choose to only pick available colors.

The simplicity of this product along with its engaging content was perfect for my math intervention block. The students had so much fun! I can easily see how I can modify the content for my lower grades while keeping the fun game element.
