About this game
A Christmas tree made of 69 dots-and-boxes squares, shaded light green, with a trunk at the bottom and six yellow star boxes hung like ornaments. A star box is worth 3 points, so players fight over them. A fun Christmas break game for the kids' table, holiday travel or a classroom party. It suits ages 6 to 7: quick to learn, and a game is over before anyone gets restless. Red, green and gold make a classic Christmas palette.
Tips for using it
- Add white for snow.
- Give each player a different colored pencil: it is easy to see who drew which line or letter, and nobody argues.
- Keep a folder with a few sheets of each game in the car or the diaper bag for waiting rooms and restaurants.
- Slide a sheet into a clear page protector and use a dry-erase marker to play the same board again and again.
Printing tips
Download the PDF and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). It is a vector file, so the lines stay sharp on any printer. This page is free for personal, family and classroom use.
