DIY Tic Tac Toe for Family Game Night

Do you remember family game nights as a kid?Â Like real old school family game nights that aren’t electronic?Â Yeah, those ones!Â Ones like DIY Tic Tac Toe.

We love family game night in our home and I wanted to make sure our kids grew up with these memories too. Playing old school games including cards, dominos, marbles, Tic-Tac-Toe and other silly classics.

There’s no doubt that the older games are pretty popular at our home, but Tic-Tac-Toe has become a family staple at our house. Our kids play it just about every everyday! No joke. In restaurants, car rides, really anywhere we may be waiting and of course at home too. There is something about it’s simplicity that just draws them in. They can’t resist it.

That’s why I couldn’t resist making our own DIY Tic Tac Toe game for home. It has been so much fun with the kiddos.

Firstly, I took the wood log slice and decided the best way for the game lines to lay on the board.

I then painted on two parallel lines turned the board and added two more parallel lines that crossed over each other creating a hashtag # to make the DIY Tic Tac Toe board.

I couldn’t resist adding an XOXO with black acrylic paint. Then I let the wood log slice dry. Don’t worry is the lines are not perfect. That is perfectly ok.

Select what you would like to use for game pieces

Next I needed game pieces, so I found the perfect white and dark gray stones.

Game piece thoughts to consider when selecting

find something that is relatively flat and small enough to fit in the # hash tag lines you painted on to the wood log slice
something light and easier to use
2 different colors with 5 of each in a set (one set for each player)

Decorate your game pieces if desired

Since I really love personalized items, I felt like they still needed a little something more. I decided to take one white stone and I added an O in dark gray rhinestones and then I took one dark gray stone and I added a X in white rhinestones. The rhinestones were hot glued on and gave them just a little extra personalization and bling.
