Colour Jenga: Buddy Tower

This is a team-based adaptation of Colour Jenga where students take turns removing a block from a Jenga tower and placing it on top without collapsing it. Each block colour is linked to a Connectedness category, so when a colour is drawn, the team completes a fast “buddy-system” prompt (10–20 seconds). The tower may still fall – but the real goal is to practice belonging, support, empathy, and teamwork while staying calm and respectful under pressure.
