To set up a yard Jenga game, lay three blocks, long sides touching, side by side on the ground or playing surface.Īnother way to say it might be: If the first layer of blocks runs up-and-down, the next layer of blocks should run side-to-side. So if you have a 48 piece giant Jenga (made with four 8 foot 2x3's), you'll have 16 rows of blocks to start. We don't recommend any more than 60 pieces because the game will get too tall to play beyond that because the height of the tower can more than double as you play.
#Back yard jenga how to#
More than 100, 000 readers have come here to learn how to make their own giant Jenga game since this tutorial was first published in 2015.Įach 8 foot long 2 x 3 will make 12 pieces so if you want a taller game, just cut up an extra board! Side note: you may end up making more than one set because ours has been done for less than a week and I've already gotten two requests from friends who want their own.Įven though I promise this project is easy peasy, if you are thinking "uh, can I just buy this?", the answer is: YES. If only unloading the dishwasher were this cool, amirite? It was so nice to get this yard game crossed off my list. These are wood pieces that are going to fall on the ground when the tower tips over so I didn't feel like there was a need to make them fancy pants. If you're feeling artistic, you can paint the ends of your giant Jenga pieces or apply some stain, I just left mine naked like the classic Jenga game. They should look a little something like this when you're done: It took me about half an hour to smooth all 48 pieces.
