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!

Step 5

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

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.

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.

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!
