Do you ever get tired of playing the same old games on family game night? I know there are a lot of options out there but sometimes I feel like we get into a funk where we reach for the same games over and over. Not only does this get boring after awhile, it’s also not very challenging. I feel like we don’t always get to interact with each other as much as I’d like during family game night. This DIY Family Jenga Game is going to change all of that!
DIY Family Jenga is a great twist on a tried and true classic for game night. You only need a few supplies to make this custom game and in no time you’ll have a great new option that will make everyone think while they play. Games that keep our brains moving while also entertaining us are my favorite.

Directions for Making DIY Family Jenga Game:
- Write questions on Jenga pieces.
- I did not write on each piece and when I stacked the game
- I try to put the questions face down so there’s no peaking.
I can find nothing with the colors you are showing! Are you suggesting people color each and every piece of the game blocks? Very confusing an misleading for me
Hi Debbie, I found a Jenga game that was colored, but you can make this game without the colored blocks the same way. The colors aren’t necessary.
I love this DIY Family Jenga idea! It looks like such a fun project to work on together, and I can’t wait to customize the blocks with our family memories. Thanks for the inspiration!
