Dots and Boxes

Close as many boxes as you can!

Lay out a grid of dots. We like a grid of 4 by 4, but it doesn’t matter.

Each player choses a different color pencil or pen.The first player draws a straight line between two adjacent dots. You can not draw diagonal lines.The second player draws a line between two dots.

Play continues in this manner until eventually a player can close a box. After closing a box, player puts his initial inside to “claim” it. He then gets another turn. If he is able to close an additional box, he gets yet another turn, until he can not close any more boxes. Play then continues with the other player.

Recommendations

Although we are home all the time, it is important to drink! Adults are recommended to drink about 10 glasses of water a day.
