Students want to talk about the books they have read, but they are sometimes too nervous to join a whole class discussion, or they may feel it's too formal for what they have to say. By incorporating Jenga into their discussion, students will feel more relaxed in a game setting, and therefore, they will be more likely to participate in a discussion, dialogue, or even debate with their peers. Before the game begins, I will write a number on each Jenga block and place it in the tower, ready to play. Students will get into small groups with classmates who have read the same book, and each group gets a list of questions. When a student pulls a block, they will read the corresponding question aloud and answer it for their group before placing it on the top of the block tower. Before the next person chooses a block, everyone in the small group has the opportunity to reply to the original student's comment, either agreeing, disagreeing, or asking a more probing question to get more information.
