We love sitting out by the fire, having water balloon fights, and a myriad of other fun backyard games. In recent years, I’ve also made it my personal mission to create unique new games for our family to play. That’s how this fun new game came to be and we already love it!

Materials

 

Microwave Plate 2 Packs

Plates With Packaging Removed

Step 1

First, remove all of the packaging from your plates and divide them into 2 groups of five.

 

Duct Tape X on Plastic Plate

Step 2

Next, use your duct tape to add X’s to the back of 5 of your plates.

 

Spray Painted X Taped Plates

Step 3

Then, spray the back of the set of 5 X plates with one of your spray paint colors.

 

Taped Circle on Plastic Plate

Step 4

Set the X plates aside to dry and add a circle of duct tape to the back of your remaining 5 plastic plates.

 

Spray Painted O Taped Plates

Step 5

After you have taped your O plates, spray the bottom of them with your second spray paint color.

Step 6

Allow your paint to dry completely before moving on.

Step 7 (Optional)

After your spray paint has dried, flip your plates over and spray the opposite side of your plates. Do this in the corresponding colors.

Step 8

While your second coat of paint dries, paint a large tic-tac-toe board directly onto your yard with your spray chalk paint.

 

Removed Tape From Teal Painted X Plates

Sealed X and O Plates

Step 9

Once your plates are dried, pull off the tape and seal them with your spray sealant to keep the paint from chipping during play and storage.

Step 10

Allow your sealant to dry completely.

Now it’s time to play!

 

Game Rules

The rules of DIY giant backyard frisbee tic-tac-toe are the same as traditional tic-tac-toe with one twist. You can use your frisbees to knock another players frisbee from the space you need. The only exception is, of course, if the player has achieved 3 in a row. The first player to get 3 in a row is the winner!

Once you’re done with your DIY giant backyard frisbee tic-tac-toe game, use a tote bag to store the frisbees and spray chalk paint. This is the perfect way to keep it together and organized until the next time you play.

This game is also easy to transport. Simply grab your tote bag and go. The spray chalk paint doesn’t hurt the grass and washes away easily. It makes this the perfect game for barbecues, family reunions, and other outdoor parties!

Pitch-ins, potlucks, or dish party… no matter what you call it, these are a popular party method for a reason. Our family reunion has been a pitch-in my entire life and I always looked forward to the dishes only found there.

It is also a budget-friendly way to feed a crowd without breaking the bank. That is part of why it’s so appealing. There are a few things to consider when hosting a pitch-in.

Food and Drinks

It’s always a good idea to specify if you expect guests to bring their own drinks in addition to a dish to share. A lot of pitch-ins provide the drinks for guests but this can get pricey depending on your guests. For ultimate frugality, I suggest letting guests know to bring their own.

Keep the food simple. If you are providing the main dish, stick with hot dogs and hamburgers. They are cost effective and most everyone will eat them.

Don’t worry about chips and cookies either. In every group there are the ones who will stop at a store for their dishes. Chips and cookies always show up.

Supplies

Make sure you have disposable plates, forks, and cups. You don’t want to get stuck with a huge mess to clean up at the end of the night. If these are out of your budget, try having a few guests in charge of these items in lieu of a dish.

I also recommend having a Sharpie handy for labeling cups. These things always get mixed up throughout the celebration. Having guests label their cups prevents that.

Entertainment

It’s not enough to invite people over and feed everyone. You need some sort of entertainment. Luckily, there are plenty of ideas that don’t break the bank.

Corn Hole

This is an easy outdoor game for people to enjoy. Have everyone with a set bring theirs so that multiple groups can play at once. Here is a great tutorial to make your own set, too!

Fire Pit

It appears to be a universal man law that if they can play with fire, they will. A small fire pit isn’t that expensive and always a great gathering place for guests.

Warning: Be sure to check your local ordinances before purchasing one. Some neighborhoods don’t allow the use of fire pits.

Board Games

Don’t let the outdoors fool you. Board games are as much a blast on the back deck as they are in the house. Don’t be afraid to try an outdoors game night. Get awesome ideas for games here.
