Multiplication Jenga

Use these multiplication fact strips to make Jenga into a fun way for students to practice their basic multiplication facts. There are 54 multiplication fact strips, one for each block in a standard Jenga game. A multiplication table is also included to be used as an answer card.

Simply cut out the facts strips and tape each one onto the bottom of a different Jenga block (this is a great job for a student or a parent volunteer). If you use 3/4 inch tape, the tape will cover the strip perfectly. Another option is to print on label paper. Laminate the answer sheet.

Set up the game as usual with the fact strips facing down. Play the game following the normal Jenga rules, except that when a student successfully pulls out a block, he or she must give the correct answer to the multiplication fact. The other players can use the answer sheet to check the answer.
