Make Your Own Game Board
The Home Handyman
|July/August 2020
This game teaches kids valuable skills like problem-solving, anticipation, logic, strategy and more. Playing Noughts & Crosses can be done anywhere at nearly anytime, but we have a fun way to take the game outside! In this issue we are sharing the painted rocks tic-tac-toe game we created out of river rocks and a slice of wood.
-

This game is fun for the kids to make and is portable so you can play anywhere. All you need are a few supplies and you’ll be set with a game that will keep the kids entertained for a long time!
A new twist to the game is to paint river rocks to serve as the X’s and O’s so you play outside. We painted a grid onto a wood slice so we could take our board anywhere we wanted. However, if you don’t have a board to use for the grid, there are tons of ways to make your own.
