Make a Four in a Row Game using a pizza box and bottle tops! A travel-friendly game that is fun and frugal too!

Four in a Row game

V is for Velcro Four in a Row DIY Game! We are at Letter V in our A-Z Play at Home series and we had fun with this great game you can make out of a pizza box!

You will need:

  • a shallow box(pizza box works great)
  • two different colors of lids/tops(minimum 8 each)
  • Washi Tape(or markers)
  • Velcro Dots, the self-adhesive type (or Velcro plus glue)
Materials needed

How to make this game:

Use the lid of the box. First, measure out your blocks. Five rows across and seven blocks high. You can do less if you have a smaller box, but this 5:7 ratio is ideal. Tape your lines with Washi tape, alternatively, just use a marker or two to make the lines visible.

Blocks

Get your child to help with sticking the soft side Velcro dots on the lids. Add the other dots to the blocks on the box.

Lids
Game

Set up the game like this and you are ready to play!

The DIY game

The aim of the game is to get four of your color lids in a row AND keep your opponent from getting his/her four in a row by blocking her/him.
Take this travel-friendly box with you when you go on holiday and have frugal fun as a family!
