Clever Christmas TIC TAC TOE

We do love to play Tic Tac Toe. It is such a simple game, simple enough for the youngest ones in the family to join in, but oh so fun. Check out this Tic Tac Toe On-the-Go version, it is great and perfect for traveling too!

For this Christmas Tic Tac Toe you need:

a cookie sheet(or a shallow box)
Christmas string(or shiny ribbon)
any small ornaments, two sets of at least 5 each(we used red and gold tiny gifts ornaments)

How to make the game:

The setup of this game will take you less than 5 minute. Tie the string around the cookie sheet so that you have 9 blocks- 3 down and 3 across.

Ready to play! That was super easy and fast, right?

Each player chooses his/her items and take turn placing it in a block. Get 3 in a row to win!

Tip: You can also make this version travel-friendly by attaching magnets to the back of your items/ornaments you chose to play with.

A game like Tic Tac Toe teaches children turn-taking, critical thinking and planning plus good sportsmanship too. All while having fun. Play this Christmas Tic Tac Toe game during a Christmas party and have fun with family and friends. Best of all, you use what you already have, making this frugal fun!
