![]() ![]() ![]() Paper Telephone - For those with modest art skills and two or more readers as their gaming companions, Paper Telephone is pretty great. Drop little tips and strategies as you play ( Don’t leave daddy a three-sided box! ), and enjoy the experience of a little mind quickly catching up to your “skill” level. When that happens, the boxer writes their initial in the box, scores a point, and gets to draw a bonus line (and additional bonus lines if they continue to close boxes). Let the kid go first (at least to start), and see who gets three noughts (circles) or crosses (X’s) in a row.ĭots and Boxes - Create a grid of dots (perhaps start with a 6×6…expand as game time, gamer patience, and game skill increase), start making lines between dots (alternating turns, line-by-line), and see who can put the fourth wall on a box. Two parallel vertical lines, two parallel horizontal lines, and you’ve got your game space on paper. As we’ve previously noted, tic-tac-toe noughts and crosses is not a great game, but it’s a good place to start in the paper and pencil entertainment world. Noughts and Crosses - Tic-tac-toe by any other name is still tic-tac-toe…but calling it Noughts and Crosses helps. So, when batteries are low, game options feel overused, but paper and pencil are on-hand, here are a few entertainment options for you and your kid. Screen-free is often good, though, and classic gaming with Pass the Pigs, Yahtzee, or memory come through in the clutch.Īnd sometimes even simpler is needed…perhaps out of necessity. Sometimes screens can do the trick, and we’ve suggested some fun stuff on YouTube (for a young-ish viewer) for watching, GoNoodle for educational/workout/catchy-song guidance, and Art for Kids Hub for, well, art. ![]()
