Jenga... it's genius!

This guy uses the game of jenga to help kids practice sight words.

I plan on modifying this for vocabulary practice for units that are heavy on new words in Earth Science.

For my US History Class, perhaps I can use it for important people.

Anyway, this looked like a great way to have fun and learn at the same time (where the "fun" part isn't necessarily time consuming as it really only takes 3-5 seconds each time to pull out a new word/term/person and then they are focused on content material).
