This is a dot board to help your kids quickly (and easily) play the dots and squares game on your next road trip. This dot box game printable is great for airports and trains, too!

How to Play Dots & Squares Game:

The game is played by the players taking turns to add a single horizontal or vertical line between two unjoined adjacent dots.

A player who completes the fourth side of a 1×1 box earns one point and takes another turn.

The points are typically recorded by placing in the box an identifying mark of the player, such as an initial.

The game ends when no more lines can be placed. The winner of the game is the player with the most points.
