How to Make a DIY Mega Tic Tac Toe Board

Looking for a fun party game that can be played in the backyard? If you are fan of tic-tac-toe and have a little space you can create an oversized tic-tac-toe board very easily.

Steps

Making Your Tic-Tac-Toe Board

    1
    Unwrap shower curtain and lay on a flat surface. It may be creased so consider doing this a few days before the party. If you don’t have time to “de-crease” it days ahead of time, lay a sheet over the top and apply a warm iron to the sheet.
    2
    Create the tic-tac-toe lines with the tape. You will ultimately have nine boxes with the tape. If necessary, find a measuring tape to create even boxes. You will need three boxes across the top, middle and bottom of the curtain.
    3
    Divide the Frisbees into groups (one color for each group).

Playing the Game

    1
    Invite two players to participate and ask each player to choose his/her set of Frisbees. Instead of X’s and O’s you’ll have different colored Frisbees (i.e. pink team and blue team).
    2
    Draw a line that is a few feet away from the tick-tack-toe board where the participants will have to stand behind.
    3
    Flip a coin to see which player goes first. Or you could draw straws or using any other method of making that decision.
    4
    Have the first player try to throw the Frisbee to the first square. If the Frisbee is a little outside the square move it into place.
    5
    Play tic-tac-toe where whichever player gets all three across wins.

 Tips

    Instead of using a shower curtain, you could use an old white sheet to transform into the board.
    Play an adult version of the game where the first person to get the Frisbee in the square chooses another party goer to take a drink.

Things You'll Need

    1 shower curtain, plain, large and plastic shower curtain
    Blue painter’s tape or thin duct tape
    Approximately 10 Frisbees––five in one color and five in a different color (the Frisbees represent your “X’s” and “O’s”.)
    Party favors or prizes
