Christmas Boxes
Boxes (also known as Dots and Dots and Boxes) is a well-loved classic
strategy game with enough of a challenge to keep older kids and adults amused,
but easy enough for younger children to enjoy (and learn from) too. We have
three Christmas printable versions here to suit all ages. Christmas Boxes makes
a good travelling or restaurant game (all you need is the printout and pencils).
It is a game for two players.
How to play:
Print out your grid, choosing the small grid for beginners and younger
children and working up to the large grid.
You will need a pencil or pen each. Choose which player is to go first. He or
she joins two adjacent dots with a straight line. The next player then also
joins up two adjacent lines.
Play continues with the players taking turns until someone completes a box.
He then claims the box as his own by writing his initial in it, and gets one
more go. Every time a box is completed, the player who completes it gets another
turn .. so sometimes a player will manage to complete quite a number of boxes in
a row before their turn is over!
Continue play until all boxes are complete. The player with the most boxes
wins.
