Conversation Starter
Compared with most games, tic-tac-toe is very dependent on your first move. It’s a great reminder to begin with the end in mind. Whether you’re choosing friends, organizing a room, or making a plan for a new goal, how can you make your first or next move set you up for success, just like getting that perfect space on the tic-tac-toe board to start your game?
Why This Activity Matters
In the winter, it’s easy to send the kids outside while we stay warm indoors. Be sure to build snow memories with your children, too! This game is perfect, since you can head outdoors but not have to stay outside too long! ;) It’s also a great screen-free solution for kids who spend too much time on screens during the winter when it’s cold outdoors.
