I am just coming into my own in the world of crafts after a rough start. So, I credit my husband, Dave, for his creativity and ability to make fun, interesting items for all occasions.
Since it’s summer and BBQ season, I thought I’d focus in on his outdoor games, including his most recent creation-- rustic Tic-Tac-Toe. Repurposing a wooden slab into a gameboard and painting rocks with X’s and O’s is all it took to breathe life into a classic game. Our kids are going to love it, and I think it would be super cute for a camp or a fun table game at a cookout.
Speaking of backyard shenanigans, Dave also crafted large scale dice. These can be used for Yahtzee without needing to have everybody sitting around a table to play, making it perfect for BBQs or tailgating. They can also be used to turn any other activity involving dice into an outdoor party game.
This idea came from a photo my sister-in-law, Kristen, found online. A twist on cornhole, this game has only one board (all participants play from the same side) and four bags. Rules of the game are completely flexible (teams/no teams, number of turns, number of rounds, tossing order--it’s really house rules or just toss ‘em til you can’t take it anymore, lol). My cousin’s son (does that make him my second cousin?), Connor, and I recently tried the game out at a family reunion. We each tossed two bags and then repeated a few times until adequately buzzed. Good times!
