my way home one more game of tic tac toe

Set up a collection of games carnival-style (with prizes for the kids!) for a neighborhood get-together or family reunion.

If you’re lucky enough to enjoy a sprawling expanse of grass big enough for a kids playhouse and more, you might go for tailgate-style games that require wide open spaces, such as a football toss, a giant lawn matching game, or miniature golf with a full course. Not only are these a blast to play, but the whole family can get in on the DIY game-making action.

As soon as the weather warms up, we think most parents would agree that it's time to get the kids outside! Let's put the days of climbing the walls, when it's too cold or rainy to play in the yard, behind us and make the most of this summer weather by crafting one of these fun DIY outdoor games for kids (adults will enjoy them, too! Don't have a lot of room? No problem! Take advantage of the room you do have with a compact game like checkers, Jenga, and tic-tac-toe made with sweet summery painted rocks as the game pieces (talk about inexpensive!).
