9-holes rules

This is an ancient Egyptian game that has been around over 6000 years!
Two players
You will each need 3 poker chips, coins, bottle caps, etc. Make sure each player has a different color (so 3 red, 3 black or whatever) so you can tell who`s markers are whose.

Make a large square then draw a line in the middle from left to right, and another line in the middle from top to bottom. This will make the big square into 4 smaller squares. Place a circle at the points where any lines intersect. (There should be 3 lines on each row – left, right & center).

chalk games for kids One player goes first and puts their color piece on one of the circles. The other player goes next, and so on, until all 6 pieces are on the board. Now players take turns moving their pieces – you can move one spot left, right, up or down – but not diagonal. The goal is to get your 3 pieces lined up (like tic tac toe) either horizontally or vertically. The first player to get 3 in a row is the winner.
