Jenga - Principled Approach to Warm Up Design - In-Service V, 2018

Jenga
1) Students are put in large groups. In the center of the room the teacher puts a Jenga tower.

2) Students in group 1 take turns pulling blocks from the Jenga tower. The teacher keeps track of how many blocks the students can remove and place before the tower falls.

3) When the tower falls, students in group 2 have their chance to do the same thing. 

4) At the end, the teacher announces the group that successfully took to most pieces to be the winner.
Use your handout as a reference to answer these questions:

-Does this warm up fit into one or more of the five categories? 
-What function(s) does this warm up serve?
-What principles are present/missing?
-How might you adapt, improve, or expand upon this warm up?
