Default Janga Stack em in Korea

This game is popular in the open air beer bars in Thailand. You have a tower that consists of long wooden blocks that are piled up one of top of the other. The object of the game is to remove blocks and place them on the top of the tower without knocking over the tower. This game gets more exciting as the tower beomes more unstable and eventially falls over.

This game can be easily adapted to any level language class. Simply write words sentences or questions on each of the blocks . After the student has removed his block have them read out the sentence or word. You can also play this game in small groups giving each group a Janga tower and have them play until it falls down

The game is called Stack-em in Korea and available in department stores. I got mine at Lotte mart in Uijeoumbu
