Is Jenga an African game?
Born in East Africa , Leslie Scott grew up fluent in both English and Swahili. Jenga evolved from a stacking game her family played with simple wood blocks. Back in England in the 1980s, Scott began manufacturing her game and trademarked the name “Jenga,” a form of the Swahili word kujenga, which means “to build.”
How did Jenga get its name?
Jenga, derived from the Swahili word Kujenga meaning “to build” , represents more than just a tower of building blocks. After all, over the course of our lives as human beings, we find ourselves building many things.
Why was Jenga invented?
The concept for Jenga came from her childhood experiences and memories of home. It was based on a game her family would play in the 70s, using her younger brother’s wooden building blocks. (Who would’ve guessed that this common pile of wooden blocks would eventually change her life forever?)
