Whaea Pauline’s Pen and Paper Challenge. Challenge your Whanau to these simple pen and paper games. How many will you play Noughts & Crosses Grids of two vertical and two horizontal lines are filled with either an X or O as players take turns. The goal is to have three marks in a row – horizontally, vertically, or diagonally – before your opponent. Connect Four Pen and Paper Game No need for a store-bought version of this fun game. Simply draw ten lines horizontally and vertically to create twenty squares. Then take turns drawing circles in an attempt to get four in a row. Once the bottom row is filled, players must “drop” their circles on top of another. Players can either mark the circles with their initials or use X and O. The first to get four in a row wins |
Dots and boxes Begin with a grid of dots drawn on a piece of paper. You can choose what size grid you wish to use. A six-by-six grid works well. As you get better you may wish to draw a much larger grid. Two or more players take turns with different colored pens or pencils drawing lines between dots. The goal is to complete a box while preventing the other player from doing so. When a block is completed by a player, they write their initials inside and draw another line. When all of the dots are connected, the person with the most completed blocks wins Spaceman One player draws blanks for each letter of a word below it, leaving space to complete the drawing of a spaceman. The other player guesses each missing letter of the word with each incorrect guess resulting in another part of the spaceman’s ship (see picture). If the player guesses the word before the spaceship is completed, they win. If not, the player who chose the word wins. |
