Jenga Extreme? Sad, but true...

"It's a birds. No! It's a plane!...No...It's Jenga Extreme!!!" This is what some people do over the Xmas Holidays when it's really cold outside. I remember playing Jenga a few years ago at my first ESL school in Korea. My students always wanted to play, but I usually didn't allow it. Obviously, if you're playing Jenga as an ESL game, you're really grasping for straws. I suppose it's great for those who haven't done prep work or simply don't care. I'd say it would be great for hungover teachers, but the sound of all those little wooden blocks hitting the table is LOUD and will also scare the crap out of you....not a good combination for a dehydrated brain!


This is me....in deep concentration. The night before New Year's Eve...barley and hops-based substances may have been involved. btw...I sucked! We played four games and I was directly responsible for the tower crashing THREE times...boo hoo....

This is a post to lighten up an otherwise heavy week. Heavy as in this semster will be much more intense than last semester. Lots of "theoretical" classes versus the more "practical" ones from last term. I suppose the balance is necessary in order to make me a well-rounded kinda teacher, but some of the educational psychology readings and assignments coming down the pipe are intense.

Hmm...let the games begin....."Jenga!"
