Why use flashcards or worksheets to practice basic facts when you can use a game instead? You can use these free fact strips to make Jenga into a game students will love to play again and again. If you don’t have a class Jenga set already, you can probably find one for a dollar or two at a thrift store.
The game requires a little prep since you must cut the strips and tape them to the Jenga blocks (but this would also be a swell job for a parent volunteer). But once the game is ready, it can be played all year long. Perfect for any math center!
You can also get a fun Get-to-Know you Jenga game for free right here!

We enjoyed using this. (The multiplication table answer sheet has addition instead of multiplication listed in the title. I just wanted to let you know.)
Thanks Rachel—can't wait to use this game in my math stations.
Love this idea! I just numbered my blocks and put the questions on separate laminated sheets, that way I put the sheet of the skills I want them to focus on that day!
Do you have division labels?
Hi Rachel
I wanted to download the free addition Jenga but can’t seem to locate the link to be able to do that. Does it still exist?
Thanks,
Wendy
