Big Jenga With Space Theme

Jenga is a fun game to play, and easy to make for a large party. Keep it cheap and easy by using 2x4s and spray paint:

Materials:

• (8) 8 ft lengths of 2x4
• (1) Plastic drop cloth (if painting)
• (1) Big sheet of thick paper (if painting with stencils)

Tools:

• (1) Chop, or other, saw
• (1) Belt, or other, sander
• Spray Paint (if painting)

They’re pretty cheap and are easy to find. For a fairly tall game, I bought (8) 8 ft lengths for 69 pieces in total, or 23 layers of 3 pieces each and a game that starts around 3 ft tall.

Cut each piece to 10.5" long with the method of your choice. I recommend a chop saw.

Sand at least the edges of each piece to remove large burrs.

Don't forget to play a test game!

This goes pretty quickly if you lay them out standing tall, as in the first photo, and use spray paint. I recommend using a different color on each side.

Cut stencils of your favorite space shapes out of some thick paper. Apply to pieces with spray paint, ideally on both sides.

You're done! You'll enjoy how frighteningly intense playing a Jenga game this large is once it starts growing.
