How to Play Dots & Squares Game:
Starting with an empty grid of dots (aka these printable game boards), 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.

In current times, children want to stay glued to their electronic devices. However, when they do, they miss out on everything around them and this basically defeats the entire purpose of the road trip. Doesn’t it?
