ThinkabaraPrintable Tic-Tac-Toe Boards
Six classic boards per page, bigger 4×4 boards, or ultimate tic-tac-toe for older kids.
How to use it
Tic-tac-toe teaches turn-taking and thinking one move ahead. Once kids discover that perfect play always ends in a tie, switch to the 4×4 board (four in a row wins) or ultimate tic-tac-toe, where each move decides which small board your opponent must play next.
You can change the marks — try letters, numbers or tiny drawings.
Questions and answers
How does ultimate tic-tac-toe work?
Each square of the big board holds a small board. Win a small board to claim that square. The square you play in a small board sends your opponent to the matching small board.
