Noughts & Crosses Instructions

Instructions for Nought & Crosses:

Materials Needed:

- Items from your bag (e.g., keys, lip balm, glasses)

Instructions:

1. Choose Players: Decide who will be Player 1 and who will be Player 2.

2. Decide Who Goes First: You can decide who goes first by flipping a coin, playing rock-paper-scissors, or any other fair method.

3. Take Turns: Players take turns placing their items in empty squares on the grid. Player 1 starts by placing their item in any empty square.

4. Objective: The objective of the game is to get three of your items in a row, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, before your opponent does.

5. Alternate Placements: After the first move, players take turns placing their items on the grid. Each player should try to strategically block their opponent while aiming to get three of their own items in a row.

6. Winning the Game: The game ends when one player successfully gets three of their items in a row. This player is the winner. If all squares are filled and no player has three in a row, the game ends in a draw.

Have fun playing nought and crosses with your bag items as counters! Feel free to play multiple rounds to determine the ultimate winner.

Remember to be careful with your bag items, make sure they are suitable for counters and that you take them with you at the end of the game. Enjoy!
