Setting up a game of Backyard Tic-Tac-Toe

by Dale Ho

Here's a quick DIY backyard game for the young and old to enjoy all summer long, who doesn't love a fast paced game of Tic-Tac-Toe?!

I put this one together last year and its held up pretty good. I mainly used items I had around the house such as leftover tiles from another project a few years back and some decorative rocks.

Game Pieces

Use permanent marker to clearly print the "X's" and "O's" on each rock.  I made seven of each letter and stored them in some dollar store finds like these tin containers.

Setting up the game is easy as seen in the picture above, make sure you choose a comfortable spot in the yard where kids and adults can sit and enjoy hours of fun playing this all time favorite...let the games begin!
