GCSE Maths - Dots and Boxes Games

A fun game that can be played in pairs. Students look to win boxes with their final scores calculated by the total contents of all their boxes.

The grids can be laminated and board pens used, to allow this resource to be used over and over again.

A greater starter to check prior learning or a fun way to check their understanding at the end of a lesson.

TO PLAY

You move by connecting two dots with a horizontal or vertical line.

When you place the last ‘wall’ of a single box, the box and its contents are yours.

The players move in turn, but whenever a player takes a box they must move again.

The board game ends when all the boxes have been taken.
