The standard form of the game saw its origins in the seventies
, but has been trademarked and marketed since the mid 1980s. The concept is to take the fifty-four blocks and build them up to make a tower. Each story is created by placing three blocks adjacent to one another. The following story will be perpendicular to the previous one. Once the tower is built, competitors will attempt to remove blocks and place them on top of the tower without knocking the tower down.
Giant garden jenga A game for the whole family to play
Jenga is a simple yet marvellous game that surpasses all age gaps. It has risen to popularity all over the world due to the fact that it can keep members of the entire family busy for hours, be they six years of age or sixty! It requires both mental skill and a steady hand and is therefore a great game for kids to play as it improves their eye hand co-ordination and problem solving abilities.
Giant garden jenga is fun due to the fact that it requires the players to use their entire bodies. It is also easier for the younger members of the family who may find the blocks of the smaller version too small to handle.
Taking it outdoors
The original form of the game requires the family to stay indoors due to the likelihood of the small blocks getting lost. However, the new millennium has brought outdoor jenga that can be enjoyed in both a large sitting room or in the garden. Our current lifestyles are almost entirely focused around being inside a location complete with a television screen, sound system and internet access. It is so refreshing to see a new development in entertainment that draws the entire family together out in the fresh air. By investing in garden jenga, one ensures that there is always a stimulating and fun game to play outside.
