- Improved communication skills by discussing strategies and rules with other players
Continued development related to the activity:
1. Encourage the child to create their own Jenga-like game using different materials such as cardboard or plastic cups. This will allow them to explore their creativity and problem-solving skills.
2. Introduce variations to the game, such as using only one hand to remove blocks or playing on a soft surface to increase the challenge and further develop their balance and stability.
3. Incorporate physical challenges into the game, such as performing a specific exercise or movement before removing a block. This will add a fun and active element to the activity.
4. Play Jenga outdoors and encourage the child to build larger towers using bigger blocks. This will provide an opportunity for them to engage in physical activity while enjoying the game.
