What is Sports Tic Tac Toe?

Sports tic tac toe is a fresh twist on the regular board game. Instead of the conventional ‘X’ and ‘O’, players use cut-outs of various sports objects. Imagine a head-to-head match of football versus basketball or tennis taking on volleyball. With a FREE 5-page PDF available for download, you get different sports tic tac toe boards. This creative adaptation doesn’t just stop at the game board; it brings in an element of physical activity, making it perfect for older students and young at heart adults alike.

Benefits of Tic Tac Toe

Students can hone their fine motor skills by cutting out the different sports objects. This hands-on activity also aids in improving visual-spatial skills. If you’re interested in more activities that focus on these areas, check out this post on scissor skills and visual spatial skills here.

2. Engaging Relay Games

Turn this game into a relay game by placing hula hoops in a large 3×3 grid, roughly 50 feet from the starting line. The first player from each team rushes to the grid with their sports object card and places it in one of the hula hoops. The next players then take their turns, adding to the excitement and anticipation. The first team to get three in a row wins!
