Create a Bouncing Tic-Tac-Toe Game with an Empty Paper-Towel Roll

For this easy family activity, all you need is an empty paper-towel roll and some Ping-Pong balls or bouncy balls. Simply cut nine 1" strips and arrange them into a 3x3 grid. You can glue or tape them together for younger players, or leave them loose for a more interesting game if they move around. Then take turns bouncing a ball across the table to see if you can land it in one of the circles.

Back-to-Back Ball Challenge—an Easy Boredom Buster with a Bouncy Ball!
