Tic-Tac-Toe Games for Kids

Here's an old favorite made into a brain-bender, try this 3-D tic-tac-toe game and see for yourself. If you like easy crafts and tic-tac-toe, you'll enjoy this game.

What You'll Need:

This is a game for two players. Draw three tic-tac-toe grids side-by-side. Label them "top," "middle," and "bottom." The goal is still to make three of your own marks in a row.

However, you can now score a win by placing a mark in the upper left of the top level, one in the center of the middle level and one in the lower right of the bottom level.

The same goes for vertical or horizontal lines. Try playing fast -- it's trickier than it looks. Once you've mastered three levels, try four, five, six, or more levels.

Remember, there must be as many rows across and down in each grid as there are levels played on. For instance, if you play on five levels, each grid must have five rows across and down.

What You'll Need:

Cut a five-inch-diameter circle out of the cream felt. This is the crust. For the pepperoni game pieces, cut five one-inch circles from the red felt. For the mushroom game pieces, cut five one-inch squares from the tan felt. Trim the tan squares into mushroom shapes.

Cut the ribbon into four five-inch lengths. Glue the four lengths of ribbon to the cream circle to make a tic-tac-toe grid. Trim the extra ribbon that hangs over the sides of the felt circle.

To play, place the pepperoni and mushroom game pieces within the squares on the grid -- just as you would for a regular game of tic-tac-toe. Now it's time to practice your strategy to achieve victory!

What You'll Need:

Draw a normal tic-tac-toe board (two lines down, two lines across.) Instead of using X's and O's, players take turns putting in a number between one and nine.

The winner is the person who fills in a row so it adds up to 15. Numbers can only be used one time per game.
