DIY: Giant Jenga
Football season is upon us and it’s the perfect time for outdoor games like cornhole, giant Jenga and ladder ball. Today, I’m going to tell you how you can make your own giant Jenga and save some bucks.
Depending on how high you want your Jenga, you can pay between $100-$300 or you can do it yourself for about $30 if you have the right equipment (hit up your dad, boyfriend, boy-friends, grandpa or your handy girlfriend).
- 7 – 2x4x96 (about $2.82 each)
- Hand Saw or Circular Saw
- Sander (you don’t have to have this but it will make sanding the corners & sides easier)
- Sandpaper
- Sanding block (this holds the sandpaper)
Cut each 2×4 into pieces that are 10.5 inches long with a saw. You will get 9 pieces from each 2×4. If you get 7 2x4s, you will get 63 pieces – that’s plenty tall, plus a few extra just in case one gets cracked!
Step 3: Jenga time! 20 rows of fun! The object of the game is to remove one block at a time (with only one hand), and stack it on top. The last player to stack a block without making the tower fall wins the game. Good luck!
