Play:

  • Stack the tower as you would to play a regular game of “Jenga.” Be sure to alternate the direction of each row of blocks.
  • The goal for each player is to remove a book of the Bible block without the tower tumbling over. The longer the game lasts, the harder it will become to not tumble the tower.
  • Player 1 will start by choosing a block to remove from the stack.  Upon removal player 1 should name the book before the one removed and the book after (example: Remove 1 Thessalonians, name the book before, “Colossians,” and the book after, “2 Thessalonians.”)
  • Player 2 will choose a block to remove and follow the same pattern or recalling neighboring books.
  • Continue until the tower tumbles over.
