FREE - TABLE TETRIS
GOAL:
To promote spatial awareness, problem-solving, teamwork, and social engagement through a hands-on block-stacking game inspired by Tetris.
SUPPLIES:
• Printed Tetris piece sheets (included in this packet) (Cut Out)
• Table or flat surface (wall works fine too)
• Painters tape or masking tape (optional - to mark board guidelines lines)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Print and cut out the Tetris pieces from the included sheets. Laminate if desired
2. Choose a playing surface - a table works great for accessibility. Use tape to mark lines across the width if needed.
3. Hand out pieces randomly, one at a time.
4. One person at a time places their piece, starting at one edge of the table and stacking toward the other.
5. Each person decides where their piece fits best - no gaps if possible!
6. The goal is to create as many solid lines all the way across the table as possible.
7. The game ends when the table or designated area is completely filled.
WAYS TO PLAY:
• Group: Work together as one team to get as many solid lines as possible.
• Teams: Split into teams and see which team completes the most solid lines.
• 1:1: Use as an individual activity with a smaller designated area.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
• What was the hardest part about placing your piece?
• Did you use any strategy when deciding where to put it?
• How did it feel working together as a team?
• Did this remind you of any games you used to play?
• What would you do differently next round?
POSSIBLE ADAPTATIONS:
• For lower ability - staff can hold up two pieces and let the participant choose, or guide hand placement.
• For higher ability - let participants strategize together before placing each piece.
• Use larger printed pieces for individuals with limited fine motor skills.
• Can be done on a wall surface using tape, but tabletop is most inclusive for seated participants.
• Use color-coded teams for added visual engagement.
