Jenga
-
You know JENGA!, right? It's the second best selling game in the world
and it was invented by a kid! It is a game played with stackable
wooden blocks.
-
Leslie, a British Citizen, came up with the idea
at age 18 while living in Africa. Her parents brought home some
wooden blocks and Leslie started stacking them three across and
built upward. The idea of turning it into a game came to her and
an international success was born.
-
The word JENGA is Swahili
for "build".
