Jenga
All you need to do is purchase the old fashioned Jenga game from the store. Then you need to make up a list of 54 questions- one for each block. The blocks can be prepared in two different ways; A. Write a number on each block and then print a list of numbered questions. Or, B. You can write a question on each block.
The benefit to simply numbering the blocks and then printing out the questions is that you can come up with a new list and change out the questions whenever you want. Make sure you tailor your questions to the age of the children playing the game. It seems to work best to mix create a mix with some really personal questions and some really light hearted questions.
Here are potential questions you can use to create your Jenga game:
